[chef] Re: Need to Install .Net framework4

[Azul < >]

.net 4.0 gave me the troubles sometime ago. In my case I think it was lack of OS updates.
I ended up adding it to the base image,  but there are a couple of things you could try.

I suppose you already tried it to install it manually so I won't ask if you did.

What happens when you install it not using chef but directly issuing the commands through a winrm/rdp/ssh shell or directly on the command prompt ?

wic_x64_enu.exe" /q /norestart
dotNetFx40_Full_x86_x64.exe
