My Microsoft.net Framework 2.0 seems to have a problem. I can't
delete it or reinstall it. I have to have it to open my Quickbooks
program and now I'm stuck. When I try to delete it my computer says
it encounters a problem and can't continue. When I go to the
microsoft website to update my system it tells me I don't have
Framework 2.0 and I need to install it. WhenI do this it goes through
the whole process and then says it can't install 2.0. My program
check says I all ready have it but it seems to not work or be seen by
the Microsoft uupdater. Please help if you can
One thing to consider, has a drive letter on the computer been changed in
Disk Management in control panel??, this also happened with a customer of
mine that had to change a drive letter for a usb device, *I was getting an
error 16 whatever, on the install of Quick Books* after hours of trying to
fix it I changed the drive letter of the changed drive and bingo it worked!
what is happening is the installer gets screwed up on what drive to look for
on the install, and is not really a framework problem.
How to change a drive letter
To change an existing drive letter on a drive, on a partition, or on a
volume, follow these steps: 1. Log on as Administrator or as a member of the
Administrators group.
2. Click Start, click Control Panel, and then click Performance and
Maintenance.
3. Click Administrative Tools, double-click Computer Management, and
then click Disk Management in the left pane.
4. Right-click the drive, the partition, the logical drive, or the
volume that you want to assign a drive letter to, and then click Change
Drive Letter and Paths.
5. Click Change.
6. Click Assign the following drive letter if it is not already
selected, click the drive letter that you want to use, and then click OK.
7. Click Yes when you are prompted to confirm the drive letter change.
If the above is not the issue try this:
The problem your having can be a real pain in the ass, I have fixed it a
couple of times but not incrementally, so here are a few ideas, eventually I
fixed the problem but I don't know what was *the* fix.
install Windows installer 3.1 from Microsoft just do a search on their site.
