  4. Click on Programs & Features 
  5. Click on Turn Windows features on or off 
  6. Check the box for .NET Framework 3.5 (includes .NET 2.0 and 3.0) 
  7. Click OK
  8. Windows might prompt you to download files from Windows Update
  9. If so, click on Download Files from Windows Update 
  10. Wait while the previous versions of the .NET Framework are downloaded and installed.
  11. A restart might be required to ensure that the new changes are correctly installed

You should now be able to install Growl successfully,
