XCOM:EU/EW

Post Body

I have seen this is sometimes a problem and I encountered it after whimsically deciding to play XCOM again after a long break (I found my last saved game was in 2016). None of the solutions proposed online seemed to work for me.

I found the problem in my case was that it got stuck trying to install .NET Framework 3.5 and I had to install it manually. There appear to be two ways of doing this either by downloading and installing the package from Microsoft or by going to Windows Features and enabling:

NET Framework 3.5 (includes .NET 2.0 and 3.0

The installation of this sometimes gets stuck itself but there is a solution in Microsoft Community here.

Once I'd done that XCOM EU and EW started fine.
