.Net 3.0 installation always fail
-
Hello everyone, I am using installer from, http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=C2B1E300-F358-4523-B479-F53D234CDCCF&displaylang=en#AdditionalInfo on Windows XP SP2 machine. The installer always report an error (and pops up the popular message box of sending an error message to Microsoft). I have tried on two machines and the error is the same. But I do not know where to check the exact error log. My questions are, 1. This package is for Windows XP SP2 or only Windows Vista? 2. Is it mandatory needed if I want to use Visual Studio 2005 + .Net 3.0 to do C# development? 3. Anyone has met with similar issues before? thanks in advance, George

First, I assume you already have .NET 2.0 installed? If not, you'll need that. I also installed this Microsoft .NET Framework 3.0 Redistributable Package[^] Then I installed the .NET 3.0 SDK some time later. You don't necessarily need it. I was doing mostly Workflow Foundation which only required the .NET 3.0 Redistributable + the Workflow Extensions designer. It was only when I did an experiement with WCF that I needed a utility that was in the .NET 3 SDK.

It depends which bits you want to use. For WF you just need the .NET 3 redist + WF Desiner.

Thanks Kevin, Yes, I installed .Net 2.0 both SDK and Runtime with Visual Studio 2005. I am using common (old) functions between .Net 2.0 and .Net 3.0 using C#, so I think there is no need to install the SDK from? Right? http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=C2B1E300-F358-4523-B479-F53D234CDCCF&displaylang=en#AdditionalInfo[^] So, I just build my application using previous (.Net 2.0 environment) and test it with .Net 3.0 Runtime? regards, George

Thanks Akki, >> I think there is another SP avialble for using .net 3.0 Can you provide an URL please? I think you mean there is a .NET SDK 3.0 for Windows XP + Visual Studio 2005? >> No Not at All My application is not using the new functions in .Net 3.0 (e.g. workflow) and only utilize the common functions. In this situation, my purpose is to test whether my application works with .Net 3.0 Runtime. Do you think in my situation, I need to build my application again using .Net SDK 3.0? Or just using the old build (built by .Net 2.0) and run it in .Net 3.0 Runtime environment? (I still doubt whether there are any differences in my application build, if I choose to use 2.0 SDK or use 3.0 SDK?) regards, George

Unfortunately, Microsoft have created confusion with their naming. There is no .NET 3 runtime as such. Everything uses the .NET 2 runtime. .NET 3 refers to .NET Framework 3 which is essentially just a bunch of new classes for WF, WCF, SPF and WCS. So you don't need to install .NET 3 at all if you're not going to be using any of WF, WCF etc.

Thanks Kevin, I want to setup Runtime environment to make some tests. For a machine which is empty (.Net 2.0 is not installed), I think I should install the following Runtime SDK to enable .Net 3.0, right? http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=10CC340B-F857-4A14-83F5-25634C3BF043&displaylang=en[^] Any need to install .Net 2.0 Runtime before install the Microsoft .NET Framework 3.0 Redistributable Package? regards, George

Thanks Kevin, I have tested that Microsoft .NET Framework 3.0 Redistributable Package will install .Net 2.0 Runtime (like System.Data.dll) automatically, no need to install .Net 2.0 Runtime in advance. regards, George
