    NET framework 4 causing problem on other program


    Hi all!

    IŽve been using a software for trading stocks for a while now (like 3 years) and no problem whatsoever! the software is given by the broker and is a platform used by many.

    the thing is that lately, since the last updates, it has been asking me to install .NET framework 4, otherwise it will stop working in 5 days!

    I installed framework 4, everything goes smooth BUT the the trading software wonŽt launch! if I uninstall framework 4 it starts working again just fine! but still asks me to install framework 4 in the remaining 5 days!

    after the deadline, I have to unintall the trading software and install it again. IŽve called the broker and they say that they havenŽt heard of such a problem! right...

    I have this trading software running on three computers: two desktops running win7 x64 and a laptop running win7 x86.

    on the laptop, wich is 32bits, I upgraded the framework 4 and it works fine, as good as before!

    on the other two desktops, wich are 64 bits, this problem is hapenning!

    I think I can conclude that the big connection here is "win7 x64 --- framework 4"

    Can anyone help me? does anyone see a solution based on what I described?

    Thanks, any answer will be apreciated!

    Maybe you can try the standalone installer instead of the online one? Here's a link to the download details page on MS' website: Download Details - Microsoft Download Center - Microsoft .NET Framework 4 (Standalone Installer)

    P.S.> I had a related issue with a game recently requiring version 4 of the .NET framework, which required me to download an additional installer (XNA something). It seems game-related though so it may not apply to your situation but if you're running out of ideas I guess you could check it out: http://www.microsoft.com/download/en....aspx?id=20914

    Hi, Trucidation!

    Actually iŽve tried the standalone installer with no luck but iŽll try it once again! maybe thereŽs an update or something that solves the issue...

    iŽll also try that xna framework and and iŽll get back to you.

    thanks for your reply

    Got my problem solved... maybe not completely solved but is a workarround!

    so I downloaded the file of the standalone installer, and noticed that i already had one in my "downloads" file... compared the two versions and confirmed they were the same (4.0.30319.1).

    so i picked one and installed... no luck, trading software wouldnŽt start!

    then tried the xna framework like Trucidation suggested... still no luck!


    then, i donŽt know how, I stumbled in the "XML configuration File" of the trading software (notice that iŽm no computer expert), and opened it.

    you could read this on a script:

    <startup>
    <
    supportedRuntimeversion="v4.0.30319"sku=".NETFramework,Version=v4.0" />

    so i remembered that the version of the fw4 was 4.0.30319.1! there was the ".1" missing! I changed it and it started! YES!!! this was driving me nuts!

    I said this might be a workaround because i donŽt really know wether i corrected the problem OR if i made the fw4 be ignored at startup...

    I donŽt care as long as it works...

    if anyone as any idea to add, youŽre welcome!

    thank you again, trucidation...
