Yesterday i had problem with connecting SQL server 2005 with VS 2010, then i download “SQLManagementStudio_x86_ENU” (SQL server Management Studio 2008) from Microsoft’s website, now it asks for .NET 3.5 Framework. and when i tried to Install 3.5 framework, it again throw error. i think it comes because i already have 4.0 Framework in my PC and we can overlap with 3.5, any guess???

.NET 3.5 and 4 should run well side by side. Maybe there’s some error in installer or your .Net installation.
Here are people with similar problem

They advice to change some key in the registry
If this fails, try to download SSMS 2008 R2 or 2005. Both are free, and 2005 doesn’t use .NET 3.5
