I've been trying to install 2014 on a new machine after deleting it from an old machine. I cannot get past the net framework part of the installation. It crashes everytime. Any ideas on how to get past this? My install log is below.

If you are installing on Windows 8, you need to install the .NET 3.5 from the Control Panel. It's a Windows add-in.
