Program needs older version of .net?

[Guest]

I have some database software that needs the .net environment to run. I had
..NET 2.0 pre-Vista. Everything ran fine.

When I as re-installing the software after installing Windows Vista, I had
this error come up:

"This setup requires the .NET framework version 1.1.4322. Please install
the .net framework and run this setup again."

I kinda thought .NET 2.0 (this is the version shipped with Vista, correct?)
just carried everything from 1.0, 1.1 and 1.1 sp1? Wonder why this would
matter?

Thanks for your help.

Hi,
Just found out myself; .NET 2.0 and 1. are two separare animals. >net
2.0 doesn't include 1. ; from what I read.

Different versions of the framework are just that, different versions of the
framework. One version does not upgrade another. If a program was written
to specifically use the 1.1 version of the framework, then that is he
version tha you need. Version 2.0 does not replace 1.1, both versions can
be installed at the same time.

ahh...ok- so both versions can be installed at the same time *safely* with
Vista?

Yes, with Vista and any other version of Windows that the framework runs on.

To work around the issue, before installing .NET Framework 1.1, remove the
read-only protection of the following regkey:

{HKLM\SOFTWARE\Classes\Interface\{65074F7F-63C0-304E-AF0A-D51741CB4A8D}\TypeLib}

To change the permission, you need to 1st take ownership of the key as an
administrator and change the permission of the key afterwards. Here

1.. Make sure you log on as a user in the Administrators group
2.. In Regedit, right click on the key and choose Permissions
3.. Click on Advanced
4.. Go to the Owner tab
5.. Select the Administrators group as the Owner and click Apply and OK
6.. In the Permissions dialog, select Full Control for the SYSTEM group
7.. Now, you can start the NETFX1.1 installation

..NET Framework 1.1 installed automatically for me while installing Microsoft
Student 2006.

Did you then get the service pack and security updates?

 

[Michael Styles]

Nothing through Windows Update.

Downloaded and installed update and SP1 OK, albeit with compatibility
warnings. Several reboots later and all appears OK. Both applets under
Administrative Tools for .NET 1.1 are functional.
