I am tryng to install a program on windows 7 but when i run tha installer i get a error message sayng: Please install .NET Framework Version 2.0 before installing the tool.
As i know the .NET 2.0 should be installed with w7 allready. So what might be the problem? Maybe there is a way passbye the checking in the installation.. or extract it or do something.
Just for more info i think its a installshield setup launcher. I tried to extract it but its not possible, getting the .net 2.0 missing error. So what i managed to do is to extract the msi from exe. And now when i run the -msi with /passive option from cmd the it indeed bypasses the .net check and everything gets installed. Now the problem is that im getting all kind of errors in the application so looks like its still not installed correctly.
My first guess is the program you install doesn't detect .NET 2.0 correctly. As you correctly mentioned, .NET 2.0 is pre-installed on Windows 7. See this article for complete picture.
While .NET is part of Windows 7, it's an optional component, though - you can turn it off.
Open the "Windows features" dialogue (by pressing start and typing/selecting "Turn Windows features on or off"), and make sure the "Microsoft .NET framework 3.5.1" is indeed installed.
If you're seeing errors in your app then maybe there's a problem with your .NET installation, or you have a client profile or partial install. What's the application you're installing - is it a server application?

Just installed VS 2019 Pro on a new system. When I open a solution with .net 4.0 project, I get this error: Project Target Framework Not Installed.
When I choose download it, it goes here but does not have option for .net framework 4.0.
In project settings there is no option for .Net Framework 4.0 in targeting framework:
https://dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/download/visual-studio-sdks?cid=getdotnetsdk
I have tried installing 4.6.2, 4.5.2, etc.
How can I get this project to open? It opens on my other machine. It has these options for Target framework in project settings:
Please don't say change the framework version, we need this older version for very old computers running XP and Win 7 that cannot be upgraded.
thank you
You have to go directly to their download site. As shown in another correct answer that was downvoted, it's still available even though it's past end-of-life.

You can package the install files with your app just in case, although most likely your installer will see that it's missing and download it anyway.
You can try downloading .Net 4.0 here: https://dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/download/dotnet-framework/net40
Mandatory warning: Installing an old, unmaintained .Net framework comes with security risks. It's up to you to determine how much those Windows XP PCs are vulnerable and manage said risks.
I have built a C# and GTK# program with Mono on Linux, and now I'm trying to run it on Windows 10. To see if I can get anything to run at all, I'm trying the HelloGTK example from the MonoDevelop documentation: http://www.monodevelop.com/documentation/stetic-gui-designer/
On the Windows 10 machine, I first tried installing Mono (32-bit), and running the application from the Mono command prompt as mono HelloGTK.exe, but it terminates instantly without any error message. I then tried uninstalling Mono and installing Gtk#, but with the same result: the application terminates silently when run from the Windows command prompt.
Could it be a .NET version mismatch, or missing .NET components? .NET is enabled (versions 3.5 and 4.6) in the Control Panel, but not all sub-items are checked. The program is built against .NET version 4.5.
I built a console application (with Mono on Linux) and it runs on the Windows machine without Mono installed. Is this enough for verifying the .NET status or could it still be an issue?
Could it be that the application does not find the GTK# libraries? Is there any way to verify the GTK# installation?
Could it be a GTK# version mismatch? The application is built against GTK# 2.12, and I installed 2.12.38 on the Windows machine, so I find this unlikely.
Any hints on how to troubleshoot this issue would be most appreciated!
forget all that:
native docker is now available on windows, so:
dockerize your app and make your image
copy to a windows box
run in docker
done
plus some details that probably need to be filled in. but docker works and will make your life infinitely easier where cross-platform issues are concerned.
The problem turned out to be in the code generated by the Stetic GUI designer which is included in MonoDevelop:
protected virtual void Build ()
{
...
this.Title = global::Mono.Unix.Catalog.GetString ("MainWindow");
With the above line commented out the application runs on Windows 10 with GTK# installed.
We have a setup made with Bitrock Install Builder.
Before installing the main application, it checks if Framework .Net already installed, and installs it if needed.
But we encountered problems running the setup on windows server 2012, because the framework is already installed but disabled.
Does anyone know how can I fix this issue ?
The only way I'm aware of is with Powershell, this kind of thing:
http://geekswithblogs.net/Wchrabaszcz/archive/2013/09/04/how-to-install-windows-server-features-using-powershell--server.aspx
But I think Powershell might be optional on some server systems anyway.
I'm running VS 2010 under Windows 8. After installing NuGet, and running Package manager console I get the following message:
Error: The Package Manager Console requires PowerShell 2.0 runtime, which is not detected on this machine. Please install the PowerShell 2.0 from http://support.microsoft.com/kb/968929 and restart Visual Studio.
I know that PowerShell 3.0 is installed automatically along with Windows 8. Why would this error message pop up?
While the Windows Powershell 2.0 Engine feature is on by default in Windows 8, you need to turn on .Net 3.5 to actually use it, as mentioned here:
On Windows 8, the Windows PowerShell 2.0 Engine feature is turned on
by default. However, to use it, you need to turn on the option for
Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5, which it requires.
Follow the steps in the above link to get it working.
While PowerShell 3.0 on Windows 8 is installed by default, PowerShell 2.0 isn't. You can go into Programs and Features and select "Turn Windows Features On or Off" and from there you can select Windows PowerShell 2.0 for installation.
Firefox depends on an extension and plugin installed by the .NET 3.5 installer to run XBAPs. Unfortunately, in Windows 7 the .NET 3.5 runtime is already installed.
Does anyone know how to get a hold of these plugins/extensions so you can actually deploy XBAPs to FireFox on Windows 7?
Turn out, the answer is to copy the DLL of the extension out of another (presumably XP) machine that can run the .NET 3.5 runtime and deploy it.
I'm uncertain of the legality of this maneuver, but it works.
