      You don't have the correct version of the .NET Framework installed. Basically, it sounds like you're trying to run a .NET 3.x app on a machine with only .NET 1.0 or 1.1, or 2.0 installed.

      Reinstall the correct .NET Frameworks...

        I have installed .Net Framework 2.0 once and repaired it Twice. My application runs on .Net Framework 2.0 No question of using .net framework 3.5 or 3.0. Since i have developed it in VS2005 in .net Framework 2.0. I packaged my application and deployed it. After using my application for several days, all of sudden it started throwing error ".NET Framework Initialization Error : Unable to fine the version of runtime to run this application". Apart from my application also few other apps depending on framework 2.0 behaved similarly. I tried repairing my framework twice and then reinstalling it once, but the problem seems to persist. :^)

          Well then, something screwed up the framework to the point where repairing the installation won't fix it. Google for ".net framework 2.0 repair" you'll come up with a few procedures that might fix it. Otherwise, the only other option is to blow away the machine and rebuild it.

                  I have myself encountered this problem a couple of times now, not on any of my systems though. Unfortunately the problem had surfaced on systems of my clients running my software. I've tried every trick known to me and suggested by very well-intending helpful folks. The myraid of things have tried to fix the error start from repairing the framework, uninstalling and then reinstalling the framework to adding the service pack patches (SP1, SP2). Nonetheless the error persist. Once, I installed dotnetfx 3.5 and the problem went again only to surface days later. I'm begining to think its some sort of virus attach on the framework or something. I've checked msdn and can't find any different answers from those I've received from many, different forum. This is a very serious problem for the only way the problem really goes away is by formating the system and reinstalling everything over again. My clients patience is wearing thin. Besides I can't ask them not to go on the internet with their system nor use a flash on the system. Please the dot net MVP's should take a serious look at this. I've waited several months hoping the solution we'd be posted someday on the forum. Nah! Sadly my app is begining to get the reputation of crashing once the Iternet is accessed! HOW TRUE?
