.net framework problem

bopdude · 19-12-2006, 10:02

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

is this right, would that be the way to downgrade, remove it and re-install .net1 ?
Soooooo many questions, sorry but

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

options please

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

The "in theory" has me a bit apprehensive,

I'll let ya know how it went, hopefully

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.

Sorry mate, just saw your post..... too late

GC, so far so good, removed .net2 installed 1.1 and trayspy installed and working

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 ???

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

Gareth · 19-12-2006, 11:19

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.

bopdude · 19-12-2006, 11:24

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

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

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

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

Hope it's all sorted and working.

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

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

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.

greencreeper · 19-12-2006, 19:38

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
