I was running a VMWare image. Given that I made image some time ago (like 2years or so), I made it with 2Gb disk partitions. 2Gb was too small to install .NET framework - and there was an issue.
To solve it I had few solutions, but easiest and most obvious one is to resize Windows partition to more space. Quick google search returned link to Carl Tyler's blog explaining how to use it.
Given that I had Ubuntu image handy on my laptop, resizing using QTParted was a breeze. I booted the image, and started doing install to HD process until I got to partition manager, selected size to grow from 2 to 8Gb and voile - I'm done.
Windows did notice something wasn't right on next reboot, it checked disk (chkdsk) and proceeded without a glitch.
Two thumbs up for Ubuntu. Thanks Carl :)
