.net framework problem
 

Hi all, trying to install Artrayspy, I want this over allseeingeye ;) problem is it's saying that it needs to have .net 1.1 and I have .net2, when I try and install trayspy it stops after the pop up box about 1.1 saying install terminated, is this due to non compatibility between 1.1 and 2 and trayspy ? Is .net not backwards compatable and can I back pedal / downgrade back to 1.1 ? If I can and do, what are the consequences ? what is .net and what does it do ?

I see .net 2 in add remove programs at 80+ mb :shocked: is this right, would that be the way to downgrade, remove it and re-install .net1 ?
Soooooo many questions, sorry but :confused::confused::confused::confused::confused:

TIA


EDIT: I see trayspy's next version, no release date is gonna be compatable with net2 :( So what are my options ???

EDIT EDIT a quick wiki shows that .net3 is out, wtf ? now I am confused :shrug: options please :D

TIA . again

It sounds like it's trying to install .NET 1.1 - this won't work if you have version 2 installed. Try removing the framework completely, run the install, then install .NET 2 Any program written for 1.1 should (in theory) work with 2

Thanks GC :tu: The "in theory" has me a bit apprehensive, :disturbd: I'll let ya know how it went, hopefully :p:

Re: .net framework problem
 

Bop, I think there's a version of ARTraySpy that doesn't include the .net runtime files... if so and I didn't just dream it, can you try installing that version.

Re: .net framework problem
 

Sorry mate, just saw your post..... too late :( GC, so far so good, removed .net2 installed 1.1 and trayspy installed and working :tu: now to see if it works after re-installing .net2.

Gareth, can I ask why you wanted it anyway ?? I can always try it for ya after I re-install .net2, no problemo, can you find a link ???

Re: .net framework problem
 

I have .net 2 installed... But I did it Gareth's way IIRC.

Re: .net framework problem
 

No worries, mate... was for you, not for me, so as long as you're sorted don't worry about it.

Can't find a link cause we block it at work as it's game-related so is a distraction for too many people.

Thinking about it again, it might not have even been ARTraySpy... could have been QTracker. My memory's not as good as it used to be these days.

Re: .net framework problem
 

Ah, I see, okey dokey, all sorted ish, just a TS problem, see the thread over at NTHW, took it there seeing as it was game related :tu:

Re: .net framework problem
 

ARTraySpy definitely does have 2 download options, 1 with .net 1 without. ;)

Re: .net framework problem
 

Cool, means I'm not going senile after all!

Re: .net framework problem
 

Well "in theory" because it depends on how well written the software is :)

Hope it's all sorted and working.

Re: .net framework problem
 

You can have .Net 1. 1.1 and 2 installed at the same time running side by side with no issues.

So, installing them all from scratch again will give no issues as the program will still use the 1.1 runtimes :)

Re: .net framework problem
 

Mmmmm, I'll check when I get round to installing net2, there was no mention of 1 in add remove programs when I un-installed 2 earlier, thanks for the tip though :tu:

Re: .net framework problem
 

As Drucii says, you can have .net 1.1 and .net 2.0 installed at the same time. I've got an application which uses .net 1.1 and I've got Visual C# 2005 (.net 2.0) installed and they both work.

Re: .net framework problem
 

I think you can install 1 1.1 and 2 but not 2 1.1 1, say - but don't quote me on that. I prefer proper open source applications - i.e. those that use Java :D
