Re: .NET still a problem - need better understanding

Robert,

Unfortunately if you didn't fully deinstall the VS 2005 beta, your best tool for cleaning up your system is to reformat your system disk. I had the beta on two different PCs and even with the instructions from MS I had to reformat both. As for the folders you see

v1.0.3705 - Net Framework 1.0 (unless you have a program that won't run with 1.1, don't reinstall this one, although v1.1 appears to recreate this directory)
v1.1.4322 - Net Framework 1.1
v2.0.50215 - Net Framework 2.0 beta
v2.0.50727 - Net Framework 2.0 RTM
VJSharp - Visual J# runtime from Framework 2.0

Mike.

Hi PVDG42 and NG,

That may be a part of my problem, but the Beta version never got fully installed. That may be a large part of my trouble with the real VS 2005. BUT, I need a better understanding of the .NET Framework before I even try to fix VS. I can take my time with this to gain a deeper understanding of the problem.

SO... I ask again: Does anyone know of a tool (or tools) where I can see what version of .NET Framework is actually on my machine and its health?

If I look in C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework I see 5 folders:
v1.0.3705
v1.1.4322
v2.0.50215 - This one is fairly empty.
v2.0.50727
VJSharp

Hi NG,

I have spent the last two days downloading, installing, and trying to view the results. As my other post indicates, I loaded an old Beta of VS 2005. I have since loaded the correct live version, but it has problems. OneCare does not work and issues a CLR error: 80004005. For the moment, I have removed OneCare. I have tried Arron Stebner's suggestion of running sfc /update and it reports no integrity violations. I have tried loading 2.0 and 3.0. The good version of VS seems to have loaded .NET Compact Framework 1.0 SP3 and 2.0 as reported by Vista's Programs and Features.

It is time to take a step back. Does anyone know of a tool that will report exactly what version of .NET Framework is running and some indication of its general health?

TIA,

Bob

When you removed the beta, did you follow the *full manual* procedure for removing all components before installing the version you have now?
VS betas were notorious for causing install and operational issues in later VS installs if the full procedure was not followed.
