Error help to get mid's working

I want to be able to use mid's hero designer, but i can't install the .net framework. everytime i try i get this error message:

"Error 25007.Error occurred while initializing fusion. Setup could not load fusion with LoadLibraryShim(). Error: 0x80131700"

I tried reading the troubleshooting page, but it might as well be written in greek. If someone knows how to fix this issue, i would be most grateful.

Edit: I downloaded and installed .net framework v1.1, then tried to install v2.0 and got a new error message:

"Error 25015.Failed to install assembly 'C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\Mic rosoft.VisualBasic.Compatibility.dll' because of system error: 0x80131107"
