So I done a force install of the packages and I also used the .NET repair tool for Win8 but still nothing.

.NET 2.0,3.0,3.5,4.0,4.5 can't be installed from external packages on Win8. They all go as "Windows features" and can be configured via Control Panel –> Program and Features -> Turn Windows features on or off. .NET 3.5 (and 2.0,3.0 are included in same feature) can be turned on/off, but .NET 4.5 (and 4.0) can't - it is always on. Win8 turns .NET 3.5 feature on by itself upon installation of CoD.
