I successfully installed VS 2010 and TFS 2010 (Build Server feature only) on clear Win 2008 R2 server. After then i start configuring build agent and build controller, but in "TFS Build Service Configuration Wizard" i get error "The .Net 3.5 Framework is not installed. You must install the .Net 3.5 Framework feature before continuing."

Why needed FW 3.5, when already installed FW 4.0? TFS & VS already install on server .Net FW 4.0.
If TFS requires FW 3.5, why it not installed by TFS setup?

Details (expand)

Team Foundation Server 2010

1) Get clear virtual machine.
2) Install Windows 2008 R2 x64
3) Install all latest Windows Update
4) Install Visual Studio 2010 Premium
5) Install TFS 2010 (Build Server feature)
6) Start "Build Service Configuration Wisard" and configure Build Agent and Build Service.

English

Windows Server 2008 R2

English

"Build Service Configuration Wizard" on page "Readiness Chacks" you give error "The .Net 3.5 Framework is not installed. You must install the .Net 3.5 Framework feature before continuing."

"Build Service Configuration Wizard" must successfully configure Build Server with FW 4.0.

Was this closed without a solution or workaround? I'm having the same problem. This really needs a response.

Unfortunately, the TFS code to install 3.5 does not work correctly on Server 2008 R2 (because 3.5 is available as a Feature or Role on this server, rather than being a separate install). When we discovered this, we chose to block during configuration and point to the OS feature, rather than re-work the feature that adds 3.5 on the other OSes.

We are looking at making the experience more consistent for the next release.
