Failed to register ASP.NET client scripts on this site

I just tried to install an EPiServer 4.62 site on my new development machine, when I came across this error: "Failed to register ASP.NET client scripts on this site".

It turns out that this error message occurs when you have installed other .NET Frameworks (i.e. 3.0 and 3.5) where aspnet_regiis.exe does not exist. The fix for this is to temporarily move folder(s) from "C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\" and retry installation.

Thanks for the post, I tried to use a regiis but that didnt solve the problem, just moving the .net 3.0 and 3.5 folders solved the whole thing

Moving the folders did not solve this for me. But coping aspnet_regiis and webengine.dll from 2.0 folder to 3.0 and 3.5 solved it
