PowerShell 3.0 Installation Error on Windows 7 SP1

I have been trying for a couple days to get Windows Management Framework 3.0 to install on my Windows 7 Enterprise, SP1 desktop machine. The installation seems to go fine, and at the end it requests a reboot as it should. After the reboot, it says installation has failed and rolls everything back out.

In the System Setup Logs it shows the following error: Package KB2506143 failed to be changed to the Installed state. Status: 0x80070005.

I definitely meet the pre-requisites. I have uninstalled .NET 4.5 and 4.0 and re-installed both, with reboots in between. It always comes back with that same error.

Any ideas?

Try following the steps mentioned here: answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/… – David Brabant
I have tried those but to no avail. I think I might have found where my problem lies, but have not had any success in locating a fix. The following is from c:\windows\logs\cbs\cbs.log. Looks like it's having a hard time with a file operation. – cjsommer

I have also run the System Update Readiness Tool prior to my installation and it came back clean. I'm stuck at the moment. If I ever do get this resolved I'll be sure to post the final resolution. This is a fun one. – cjsommer

Make sure you run the installation as Administrator. It's not sufficient to be logged on with an account that has local admin privileges; you need to select Run as administrator from the context menu, or run it from an elevated command prompt. I ran into that error the first time I tried to install Management Framework 3.0 by just double-clicking the downloaded .exe file. It worked when I launched it from an elevated prompt (Run as administrator would have the same effect).

For me the problem was the .Net Framework WoW64 features were missing. More specifically mscoree.dll couldn't be found. Installing the NetFx2-ServerCore-WoW64 & NetFx3-ServerCore-WoW64 features fixed the problem for me.
