I had sentinel on my PC and then my hard drive died and now I can't install it. It keeps asking for NET 2.0 which I cannot find. Any suggestions? Thanks!!

Hi Mike,From our Sentinel FAQ for us Win11 users....
How to Enable .NET Framework 2.0 and 3.5 in Windows 11

If you haven't already, try re-booting your computer after clicking "OK" for .net.Hi Mike,
I am in a similar situation as @stvdooner where I have a new laptop running Windows 11 Pro. I did as instructed but Sentinel continues to ask for a 2.0 .NET Framework installation. When I go back into OptionalFeatures.exe after Sentinel fails to load, the 3.5 .NET Framework checkbox is no longer checked even though I clicked on "OK" to exit the application. So I go through the process again to install the 3.5 .NET Framework again. Upon running the Sentinel installer, once again it says it needs the 2.0 .NET Framework again. Essentially, I am in an endless DO-Loop.
So Mike or anybody else reading this thread, any idea what I might be doing wrong giving these results? Thanks in advance folks for any help that you can offer!

Dave, you got me to thinking. First, I thought that I might try uninstalling Microsoft .NET 3.5 and then reinstall it to see if it got corrupted or something. Turns out, it was not there to begin with! All that I found was Microsoft .NET Runtime - 6.0.20(x64)! I uninstalled that, rebooted, selected Microsoft .NET 3.5 install for the umpteenth time and viola! It actually installed this time. Rebooted and it was still there. Ran the Sentinel installer and viola! It went in smoothly for a successful install!Whenever doing add/remove windows features, it’s always a good idea to do a reboot and then try to install the software again. Some features actually require a reboot. But before trying the install again, verify the add features retained its setting.
Thanks Dave for your comment which prompted me to do something different and by golly, things actually started to work like they were supposed to. I'm back in business thanks to your comment.
