Not working with Vista #6

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Try to install the program in Microsoft Vista

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Got the msg "The setup requires .NET version 1.1.4322". I hav vista here 
which includes .NET version 3. Shouldn't it be backward compatible??

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
1.1.1

Please provide any additional information below.
Please do provide a solution to this problem. We use IPmessenger in our 
campus and if your program works, the i'll be too gud. :D

Hi

Saw the issue you reported. I am aware of the fact that Vista ships with .NET 
2.0 
(and possibly 3.0) pre-installed but no 1.1 :( At the time I first wrote the 
program .NET 2.0 still hadn't made it out of beta so I never quite got around 
to 
compiling a 2.0 version. I'll try and build it with 2.0 and put up a release. 
In the 
meantime however, you have two options:

1. Get .NET framework 1.1. It's available here: 
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=262D25E3-F589-4842-8157
-
034D1E7CF3A3&displaylang=en. It's free and only 23 MB :)

2. Get the source and compile it in .NET 2.0/3.0. Shouldn't be any compilation 
issues although I can't guarantee that since I haven't tried compiling it on 
2.0/3.0.

I realize this might not have been the fix you were looking for but I hope this 
at 
least gets you started. I'll try and get a 2.0 release up ASAP. Thanks for your 
interest.

Arun
