Is there a way to check if the necessary version of .NET framework has installed and if it has not installed to display a custom message explaining the user what is the problem and how to download the required version of .NET framework in order to make the application work?

View 3 RepliesI have created a license system for my application with MySql about half a year ago. What it would do is take the serial number and send it to my server if the key was correct it would return a 0 if its wrong the return value would be a 1.The problem was that when the serial number was entered correctly my program would create a "fake file" for example vb.dll in the system.And on run time my program would check for that vb.dll if the file exist it would skip my trial program and run the app as a full version. Half year later i think creating a "fake file" and checking for it on start up is extremely wrong and that's not very good security.How can i check the difference between a full version and unregistered version?
View 23 RepliesI have developed a windows based application using visual studio 2005 called DMS. On the client side, this application runs on asp dot net framework 2.0. We have created its setup file which has to be installed on the client pc. After the installation of the application, some of the users get the error message as:
DMS.exe - .net framework initiation error Unable to find a version of the runtime to run this application
(I have also attached the screen shot of the error message.)Trouble shooting done by me:
a. I had tried the re-install Dot Net Framework 2.0.
b. Scanned the PC for virus attack.
c. Install dot net framework 2.0 first and then the application.
But none of the solution works. The only thing that works temporarily is un-install the whole application and re-install it. Then it works for a few hours.
I am using VB.NET 2008 Express Edition and INNO Setup. When I create a setup and run it, the resulting install is an older version of my project from, I think, 2 or 3 days ago. If I go back to my project in the developer window and run the project, it is clearly a newer version than the install. Since this installed version that comes up was done I have added a form and made many other changes.Is it because the build didn't exeucte? When you run the project doesn't it execute a build every time?I tried this again from a backup. (The backup is much more recent than the version I'm getting.) And it still does the same thing.Why does the install not match the project? It is not possible to go into the project and add the changes because they are already there.
View 3 RepliesI have made a very small (only one form and no database operations) but nifty application and I want many people to be able to use it. My question is: As I only need a very small part of the dotnet framework, is there a way to let the compiler (or so) grab only the parts it needs for the .exe/.msi file, so that users don't have to install the entire 3.5 framework just to run my tiny little app?

View 4 RepliesI am writing my first application in VB 2008 Express with .NET Framework versions 2.0, 3.0 and 3.5 installed. When completed, I assume the application will need to check whether it is running under .NET Framework version 3.5 or later. I have not found any properties that I could get which would give me this information about the environment in which the application is running. Is this something that the non-user code in which my application is wrapped by the IDE checks, or is it something that I have to check myself within the application ? If the latter, how would I do that ?

When I distribute my program to another, I don't know which .net framework he has loaded. My program was developed and compiled with VS 2005 and I am using .net 2.0. Will my program work on his machine if all he has loaded is .net 3.5? (or something else)

View 8 RepliesI need to detect if any version of the .NET framework is installed as we are deploying a .NET 2.0 app via logon script (ie XCOPY deployment) to all PCs in our network. The .NET app will be set to start when a user logs in, so we need to determine if .NET 2.0 (or higher) is installed before we deploy the app otherwise the user will get an error each time they log in. Is there any sure fire way to detect .NET via vbscript or batch file? All of the results I have found on google don't seem to be that reliable.
I have recently written a program that detects installed programs in the same way that Add/Remove Programs does but the problem with this is that even Add/Remove Programs does not seem to show the .NET framework on all PCs that have got it installed (like my home PC for example, definitely has .NET 3.5 installed but its not in the Add/Remove Programs list).
I'm writing a code that will check if .net framework 3.5 SP1 is installed before installing the program.The command I found googling around was System.Runtime.InteropServices.Runtime Environment.GetSystemVersion..I wasn't able to verify the correct .net framework version using this command.I'm currently running 3.5 SP1 and this command is showing v2.0.Is there another way to get the correct .net framework version?
View 2 RepliesIs it possible to reduce the version of .net framework of my application. For example: Host using my application have .NET 2.0 I make changes in my app so that it always run as .NET 2.0 not the latest .NET 3.5
Or another idea i have is to deploy .NET 3.5 in installation package i.e. if he runs my app and it detects .NET version and if its not .NET 3.5 then .NET 3.5 installer should open else my app should run.
I just finish my first application, and it is runing very nice on my computer, outsite IDE.But when I put it on another computer or in a virtual machine, i get some error and it is not running.In my application i have only controls, no dll, no nothing, except one picture.I have to mention that i have win7 on 64 bit and i use visual basic 2010 Express with netframework 4.0.
I also want to ask you what i have to do to make an install pack that contains microsoft installer and framework.I want to make a setup file with all this included.
Mainly I ask this because I don't want to distribute both versions, and if I need to instal a 64bit .NET on an x64 PC and a 32bit .NET on a 32 bit PC then I would need to make this check in my loader application to download the correct version for the correct PC.

I wrote a programme and sent it to my client, (it was not a deployment or install file - just the .exe). He responded that it would not run and the PC reported "this program requires Net Framework 2.0". He cannot update the PC in question with Net Framework 2.0. So my question is can i somehow change my program to use an earlier version of Net Framework?

View 2 Repliesconfirm the forum for this question about Visual Web Developer 2010 Express. I found a VWD Express forum, but it was in Spanish... Lo Siento. My issue is selecting a down-level, 3.5, framework version as I create a new project/website. I have figured out how to CHANGE the target framework version once the website/project is created. I have the 3.5x installed on the system and available. The articles I have seen discussing this issue, refer to a framework version selection drop list in the new project creation dialog/wizard. I do not have that option.

I have a VS2010 solution (upgraded) that has two projects, an EXE and a DLL. In both the Target framework versions are 4.0. When one look at the references of the EXE project, one can see that the System.dll (and System.Core.dll and so for) references to the v4 version (the latest); however, in the DLL project the references points to the .Net Framework v2 version. Why is this happening? How can I make all my projects to point to the v4 libraries?

Is it possible to load a referenced assembly only if the .NET Framework version is lesser than a specific number? I'm using a selfmade LINQ library on .NET 2.0, but if the framework is 3.5+, it should use the M$ LINQ library, and ignore the selfmade one.
