Solve : System restores? |
|
Answer» I recently had problems with my vista software and I was told a system restore would probably solve them. Something was wrong in my .net framework files that was causing windows applications to stop working. The only issue I have now is that NOBODY could explain the process of how to go about doing a system restore on that forum, and hopefully I can get some help here. I looked around on google but couldn't seem to figure out what I NEEDED to be doing. Can doing a system restore cause my computer to stop working if done incorrectly? If not is there a way for me to completely remove my .netframework and then reinstall it? I tried using the add/remove programs and reinstalling but it continued to give me errors.What version?I don't really know because when I tried to remove it through add/remove programs it's off the list, but when I try to update to the latest one (3.5?) it gives me an error saying I already have a version. I'll try all of the reinstalls again once I'm at home and get the specific errors it gives me and then report back. Thanks for all the help and fast replies.You're welcome... We'll be here for ya!Automated cleanup tool to remove the .NET Framework 1.0, 1.1, 2.0, 3.0 and 3.5: http://blogs.msdn.com/astebner/archive/2006/05/30/611355.aspxSorry for the late reply, I used the link you sent me to remove all .net framework files and tried to install 3.5. The download worked but when the installation starts vista says the program has stopped working and all the downloaded files will be removed. I noticed on the download site that 3.5 builds incrementally on some of the other .net frameworks, does this mean I need to install those before trying to download 3.5? By the way, the error log says this: [06/16/08,22:33:31] Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0SP1 (CBS): [2] Error: Installation failed for component Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0SP1 (CBS). MSI returned error code 1 [06/16/08,22:33:37] WapUI: [2] DepCheck INDICATES Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0SP1 (CBS) is not installed.

MSI returned error code 1 [09/14/08,13:47:15] WapUI: [2] DepCheck indicates Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0SP1 (CBS) is not installed. Edit: I tried to install 2.0 but it says it is already installed as part of my operating system (vista). Even after I used that clean-up tool? Then I tried to install 3.0 and after it goes through th setting up parts it says not all files were installed correctly. Quote I noticed on the download site that 3.5 builds incrementally on some of the other .net frameworks, does this mean I need to install those before trying to download 3.5?This is SIMPLY not true. NET versions install alongside each other. Basically, you even don't need NET to be installed, until some program specifically asks for it. Your error... Strangely enough, this site: http://www.doctordeploy.com/msi-error-codes-t418.html doesn't even list error code 1 I'm also not sure why NET 3.5 would create some NET 2.0 errors. Bad download?I'm not sure where else to download from, I just typed in .net framework download in on google and it directed me from there. I'm just trying to get my zune software working so I can update my songs. Almost wish I would've bought an ipod instead now.You can get NET only from M$ site, but try to re-download it. |
