SONY Viao with Vista X64 and Net.Framework 2.0

[Harold A. Climer]

I have a SONY Viao Laptop running VISTA X64 with all the latest
updates installed.
I am trying to run a PCTV 880e tuner and when I try to run the
software for the TV tuner it says I need to install Net.Framework 2.0
I try to install it and I get a message saying it is already part of
the operating system. Does anyone have any idea as to what is going on
and how to fix this. The PCTV 880e comes with both 32 bit and 64 bit
dirvers for XP and Vista.

Hi,

The 2.0 Framework is part of the OS. If the install is failing because it
thinks that the Framework is not present, and will not continue -- there is
a fault in the installer program. I speculate that no one here will be able
to help you with this and that the best advice will be to go online to see
if there is an updated Setup program.

While someone may be able to offer some other advice, this newsgroup is
designed for software developers who are targeting .NET Framework
applications. Most of us won't know much about applications that someone
else has deployed.

Although someone has already pointed that you'd be better off contacting the
manufacturer of the device, can I ask if you've tried running the installer
as Administrator (right click, Run As)? It may be some kind of privileges
issue preventing the installer from detecting .NET 2.0. It does sound to me
as though the manufacturer has shipped a very ropey installer though,
something which is likely not Vista friendly.

HTH,
Alex
