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.

Are you encountering errors uninstalling the framework?

You could try this clean uninstall, from a guy who works at MS, then reinstall here @ http://www.microsoft.com/net/download.aspx although you've said you've ran a cleanup tool already.
