.net-framework-3.5

I receive the following error when trying to run applications that require .net Framework 3.5:

"Could not load file or assembly 'System.Core, Version=3.5.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089' or one of its dependencies. The module was expected to contain an assembly manifest."

I've tried numerous fixes, such as reinstalling through ad/remove software, copying the .net folder over from a clean windows 7 install, and running the .net cleanup tool.

Just wondering if anyone has run into this issue before, or has an idea on how to fix it.
