.Net framework sp2 error (1 Viewer)

[clanmackenzi]

Now spent two days trying to install MP 1.0.1 but cannot get past the .net framework error

".net framework 2.0 installed but SP 2.0 required"

As directed I install .net Framework 3.5 sp1 but still get the same error even though 3.5 SP1 is successfully installed. I have tried every conceivable permutation of uninstall, reboot, reinstall etc but the same error appears.

I have followed the links in the forum but still no joy

Currently loaded are: .net framework 1.1, 1.1 hotfix and 3.5 SP1

Any heads up would be appreciated.

I would uninstall .Net framework 3.5
download the original .Net framework 2.0 from the MS site
Download details: .NET Framework Version 2.0 Redistributable Package (x86)
then, run a Windows Update
and then reinstall .Net framwork 3.5 afterwards

thanks, I tried that but got an operating system error (I have Vista 32-bit) - 2.0 is for XP and a link to 3.5 was provided.

I have a spare copy of Vista 64 and I am thinking of doing a complete fresh re-install with this instead. A major step though as I have done a lot of tweeks over the past 3 years getting mp just right.

Any more advice accepted before I jump in tomorrow afternoon.

That should have .net2.0 preinstalled, my Ultimate has only ever updated .net3.5, even just checked all my windows updates, so you may have a corrupt OS.

Is it possible to do a repair with Vista home install disk, sorry just do not know on that one, but that's the first thing I would try before using my image backup to restore OS (again does Home have this, if so use it after reinstall, takes 10 minutes to restore Vista sp2, so sweet).

Just check the current requirements for MP before doing anything else.

Good luck with this, always a pita to restore a OS from original disk

have you tried installing .Net 2 sp2
>NET 2 Sp2

it seems that what the installer is asking for

Thanks for the comments - I will try an OS repair but if that still does not work I am going to do a fresh installation of Vista 64-bit (I have being toying with this upgrade for a while).

If you don't hear from me for a while, you will know I am in Microsoft hell...

new OS installed (Vista64) and all is progressing well. Got MP 1.0.2 installed and now just getting all the channels and guide data etc setup again - backups no good with new OS and file structure so its a bottom up build again. Hope I can remember all the tweaks I've done over the past few years...

Unfortunately I have no idea why my last OS wouldn't accept the new .Net but it forced me down an upgrade path I had been considering for a while.

The new Xface with moving pictures and TV Series has made it all worthwhile - Great work guys keep it up, donation submitted....
