Hey all,
Recently my power supply died and when it went out, some sectors of my hard drive were damaged. A number of those sectors dealt with windows, so I had to do a chkdsk and Windows Repair install. My box now works to a point.
Something is majorly wonky with the .NET framework installation. Many apps that rely on .NET 2.0 will not function, or as soon as the launch will crash with the stupid "send crash report to Microsoft" that doesn't ever do anything useful.
I have tried going to Windows Update to get the latest of the .NET patches, but they fail to install and the installer will just rollback. I have tried going to Add/Remove programs and doing both Repair installs and Uninstalls of the .NET components, but have not been successful. I tried installing .NET 4.0 and although that did install, it didn't help anything so I uninstalled it.
What is the best/correct way to clean up my .NET installs so the apps that need 2.0 or 3.5 will function? Any advice?
