Re: Question about installing .net 2.0 when .net 1.1 is present (HELP)




Thanks for this information. I believe I misspoke a little about the
..net 1.1 configuration tool. If I access this via the Administrator
Tools->Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 Configuration; then the snapin
properly loads.
However, if I simply open the MMC console and select Add/Remove Snapin
and select the .NET Framework 1.1 configuration snapin; this scenario
produces the failure.
This would seem to coincide that the MMC does load the default runtime
while launching the tool from the Administrator Tools section loads the
proper (1.1) runtime.

Is it safe to say that MMC snapins built with the 1.1 runtime must be
rebuilt as to utilize the 2.0 runtime (assuming that the MMC is
loading the 2.0 runtime by default).

Thanks,

-john
