also I open the process monitor. to capture all fiel activity of setup.exe. , it try to read one setup file which is located in E:\x86\redist\DotNetFrameworks\dotNetFx35setup.exe

it’s not a valid PE file.

80004005 means  the file is broken.
so the final answer,  make sure you ISO checksum is correct. for me, just download a new ISO which works well.

Also Microsoft should prompt user a friendly error.
