It's a known issue (listed in the SDK), unfortunately there wasn't time to fix 
it before the release. For the time being, you will need the extended .NET 4 
runtime installed. Hopefully that requirement will not last too much longer.

not client but full version of .NET 4 you mean? (dev+client)

The version that this installs:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyID=9cfb2d51-5ff4-4491-b
0e5-b386f32c0992&displaylang=en
It shows up in the Programs (uninstall) list as Microsoft .NET Framework 4 
Extended. It's not a developer package.

No. You misunderstand the meaning of "Client Profile". None of the 
redistributables are "developer" packages. That's why they're redistributables 
and not SDKs.

combined version you mean. in other words full version which includes dev and 
client packs which I referred in my previous comment.
but without this requirement I have successfully installed slimdx in another 
pc. the only difference was the OS.it was win7 pro

The Client Profile is used to run most client applications that target the .NET 
Framework 4
.NET Framework 4 is required to run and "develop" applications to target the 
.NET Framework 4

those descriptions stated by Microsoft. it is possible that I misunderstand 
that.

Anyway. a normal user is not aware of this as they started to use windows 7. 
and as the build-in version is client, slimdx setup should be fixed according 
to this version.

Yes. You have misunderstood. They are not developer packages, except in the 
sense that you obviously can't develop applications without the runtimes 
installed.

The extended framework installer is analogous to the .NET 2 installer, since 
.NET 2 didn't have a Client Profile version. It's an optimization, and one want 
to make eventually, but it's in no way a show stopper or even really a bug.

so,there should be a link to .Net 4 before installing slimdx (.net 4 version) ?

Original comment by onuracen...@gmail.com on 14 Apr 2011 at 5:55

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
Yes, if you want to deploy .NET 4 applications, the target machine must have 
.NET 4 installed. You can either link to the web installer or include the full 
redistributable embedded in your own application's installer.

The SlimDX installers do not bundle the .NET runtimes because they are large 
and most people have them installed already.

I'm assuming this fix is available in the Sept 2011 release, but the download 
page still says "The 4.0 runtime is not available yet, but will be released in 
a few days."  I was going to just use the March 2011 release, but it does not 
support the .NET 4 Client Profile, which I need.

Any idea when we'll see the .NET 4 version of the Sept 2011 release (with 
support for .NET 4 Client Profile)?

thanks!

Still waiting for the September 2011 redist for .NET 4.0.
A "few days" have gone by quickly... ;-)

Thanks a lot for making available a .NET 4.0 runtime.
Unfortunately, I've just installed "SlimDX Runtime .NET 4.0 x86 (January 2012)" 
and checked the target profile of the SlimDX assembly (using ILSpy) and it's 
still not the client profile... :(
The .NET 4.0 Client Profile is installed by the Windows Update while the full 
profile requires the user to run an installer that includes stuff targeted for 
servers and developer machines.
More info on the client profile at

Thanks,

Yeah, did not know that it needs to be set on the assembly itself. VC helpfully 
fails to expose it as a setting as well. I've attached a new test binary to 
this comment, please verify that it is properly compatible with the client 
profile.

We're re-issuing the Jan SDK in a bit anyway due to some oversights (like 
forgetting to update docs) so if this build is okay then I'll revise that part 
of the release as well.

That seems to fix it. The assembly does show the required metadata:
[assembly: TargetFramework(".NETFramework,Version=v4.0,Profile=Client", 
FrameworkDisplayName = ".NET Framework 4 Client Profile")]
Don't forget that, if you set pre-requisites on the installer, you should 
change these too. 
Thanks a lot!

Fixed in January 2012.

Just to warn that the issue has been fixed for the runtime installers but not 
for the SDK installer (Feb 4). They all install SlimDX 4.0.13.43, but the one 
installed by the SDK does not target Client profile.
