    Summary:
    When trying to install Mediaportal without .NET Framework already installed on computer, the installation failes. This is totally normal procedure. The installation fail dialog box should be better.
    Description:

    If you look at error message is says:
    --------------------
    Installation failed

    This software require .NET Framework version 2.0 * or higher

    No version of Windows Framework is installed

    Please update your computer at Microsoft Windows Update

    --------------

    Can it not be any better than this - Do not have a specific solution, but in my opinion it does not look good?

    Is it possible to implement Framework in Mediaportal or make the installation process download at install it automatically?

    If not, what about having a direct link, or just a more "positive" way of instructing the user to download Framework from Microsoft?

    The big Error dialog with the red cross blinds my eyes a bit - If present, it should not popup as a bug/error, but instead as an step in the installation process - Find a icon in the "error" box. But i still would recommend automating the installation process even more than it already has gone through.
