QuickBooks Install Failed error 1304 & 25015

I recently had issues with a QuickBooks reinstall after some computer corruption and couldn't get it to reinstall for the life of me.

Exhausting all resources and finally fixing it I am going to let you know what I did for fix it.

I was getting error 1304 (Error 1304: "Error writing to file [file name]. Verify that you have access to that directory.") first and was saying my cd drive was bad but I wasn't installing from cd as it was the exe file downloaded from their site.

I found after numerous hours and trial and error that the .net was the culprit and I tried to uninstalled and reinstall and then got:
Error 25015 failed to install assembly system error 0x80131107 failed to install because of system error 0x80131107

I could not get it to reinstall. I had to rename the C:\windows\assembly folder and clean out all the .net files from the c:\windows\microsoft.net folder. I then reinstalled the .net 2.0 successfully this time, rebooted and then installed my QuickBooks successfully.
