Cannot install on new PC - wanting to download .NET 3.5

I have a new laptop and I am trying to reinstall my Sony Vegas Movie Studio Platinum 12.

Even though I have a new .NET framework installed (4.8) the installer wants to download .NET 3.5. When the download is "complete" it says the 3.5 download was corrupted and back to square one..

I logged in and found my product in the list of products and downloaded the installed again. But the result was the same error regarding .NET 3.5

Any thoughts on if and how I can get this installer to work? The file is moviestudiope12.0.896.exe.

@Ned-Mitenius

On Windows 10, you activate .NET 3.5 in Control Panel -> Uninstall or Change a Program -> Turn Windows Features On or Off.

Please do not download anything!

THANKS!

Amazingly simple, AND IT WORKED!

Totally non-intuitive. I searched all kinds of forums, help and knowledgebase looking for an answer. It seems they could have put something into the new installer to either take care of it or alert you to it.

Appreciate the quick reply and appreciate your depth of knowledge!

Actually took me a half a day to find the right instructions on MS website last year.
