I just downloaded and installed .net 4.5 and it went through the installer successfully, I got all the successful install messages, restarted my machine, and nothing.
My C:\Program Files (x86)\Reference Assemblies\Microsoft\Framework.NETFramework was supposed to have a 4.5 folder in it now, and it doesn't. Also, I can't change any of my projects to 4.5 in visual studio, which I was supposedly able to do also. I followed Scott Hanselman's blog here and I'm not getting the same result.
Also, one of my interns did the same thing today and got the exact same result on his own machine.
Ultimately all I want to do is run EF 5 so I can get fricken enums! And I thought I had to have 4.5 to do that.
Thanks!

I wrote a project, I ran cmd, to connect my codes to SQLserver. when I typed dotnet ef migrations add...; It said : that it can't find this 3.1.1 version folder despite the fact that when I asked the version, it would say it is 3.1.1 version.
So i downloaded the 3.1.1 sdk from Microsoft website, I installed it and nothing changed, the 3.1.1 folder wasn't added. I tried to find the folder but I could not.
Suddenly out of nowhere, I decided to download the framework instead. I opened it and it didn't need installation. I just copied this framework and replaced it with the whole dotnet folder which I had problems with😓. The problem started there, again I executed cmd and wrote dotnet ef... It said there is no ef. I again replaced the framework with another one, it said wrong machine, one another time and it said the dotnet image doesn't fit my pc or sth like this. I uninstalled the dotnet and installed it again, it now says an attempt was made to load a program with an incorrect format. I searched this error, they said I should change the 64bit iis to 32bit. I tried but I can't. Iis manager doesn't have the enable 32 bit option for me! And in the other ways folders are missing.
What should I do?
I solved it by first deleting the dotnet folder, then reinstalling visual studio.
Then I downloaded the dotnet sdk for runtime which is suitable for my computer
My existing code work as expected with .net framework 4. But after upgrade to .net 4.6. Its not work
I also ran into this. Had to uninstall all 4.6 frameworks, and then re-install 4.5.2 Framework. And finally re-register in IIS by running aspnet_regiis -i
and then my CR started working again.
So removing 4.6 for Windows 2008 Server is the solution. For Windows 2012 Server, turns out the 4.6 is "hidden" as update KB3102467 that was pushed out around April 2017. Uninstalling that got the Crystal Reports viewer working again on our Windows 2012 servers.
Another answer for anyone... fix is simple but requires a manual change every time their is a patch\update for .NET Framework 4.6
Turns out the problem is that Crystal Reports looks for a folder that matches the version of the Framework including the "build".
The quickest way to manually fix this is go to the web page that has the Viewer and look at the source. You will find a line similar to /aspnet_client/system_web/4_6_xxx/crystalreportviewers13.....
Go to the servers hard drive and rename\copy that folder to the version it is looking for and you are back in business.
I have written an application that I deploy via Clickonce, but I want to deploy it via Installshield, so I am experimenting with it. I found and downloaded dotnetfx45_full_x86_x64.exe, the redistributable for .NET Framework 4.5, and made a Installshield prerequisite from it. I wrote a simple application that has a RDLC report that just says “Hello World”, and it needs .NET Framework 4.5, and used Installshield to deploy it. The Reportviewer needs Microsoft SQLClrTypes_x86.msi and SQLClrTypes_x64.msi, and ReportViewer.msi, so I got those and made Installshield prerequisites from them. For the ReportViewer.prq, I specified SQLClrTypes_x86.prq and SQLClrTypes_x64.prq, as dependencies, and for SQLClrTypes_x86.prq and SQLClrTypes_x64.prq I specified dotnetfx45_full_x86_x64.prq as a dependency.
When I installed my little application on my test computer (running Windows 7), it installed the 4.5 framework, said it needed to reboot, and asked if I wanted to reboot now, and I clicked Yes. I was thinking it would reboot and continue the installation, but when it rebooted, that was the end of the installation. I ran setup again, it asked if I wanted to install the 4.5 Framework (it asked me the first time, too), so I clicked No. After clicking No, it installed the rest of my program, and it ran perfectly.
How can I get the installation to continue after it reboots from installing the .NET Framework 4.5?
Thanks
Here's a blog I wrote about 9 years ago:
Using InstallShield 12 to Install .NET Framework 3.0
It hasn't changed much. You want to use the prereq editor to change the reboot behavior to Note it, fail to resume if the machine is rebooted, and reboot after the installation.
Also please note that InstallShield consumes it's PRQ files from the ISProductFolder (C:\Program Files (x86)\InstallShield.... ) I don't care for this from a CM perspective. I recommend isolating the file and file references to relative paths based on ISProjectFolder and keeping all of these files in your source control tool.

I built a .Net 2.0 Application for Windows XP but I made it in Windows 7.
The application contains a Mysql.data connection and CrystalReport. When I try to run it on Windows XP, the application does not run, giving an error message of:
The application failed to initialize properly (0xc000007b).
I tried to rebuild application in Windows XP, but when I rebuilt and ran it in Visual Studio, the following error occurs:
Could not load file or assembly or one of its dependencies. The module was expected to contain an assembly manifest.
How can I fix this?
Please try the following:
1.Uninstall the .NET Framework 3.5 from Add/Remove Programs (in the Control Panel) on Windows XP or Programs and Features on Windows Vista/Windows 7.
Even if the uninstall fails, go on to step 2.
2.After the Framework 3.5 has been uninstalled or if it failed, download and run the .NET Framework removal tool.
Here's the link to Aaron Stebner's Framework Removal tool on Windows Live Skydrive:
http://cid-27e6a35d1a492af7.skydrive.live.com/self.aspx/Blog_Tools/dotnetfx_cleanup_tool.zip?wa=wsignin1.0&sa=17797669
Aaron Stebner is a Microsoft employee. The tool he's developed is linked on that page and makes easy work of cleaning up damaged .NET Frameworks from your system so they can be reinstalled. When you run the tool, choose the .NET Framework 3.5 from the list and choose to cleanup. After this is done, reinstall the .NET Framework 3.5 that Design 3 needs by running the Expression Design 3 setup package again. It will detect that the .NET Framework 3.5 is missing and reinstall it for you. After that's done, try running Design 3 again.
3.If that still fails to resolve the problem, go to START, RUN and type CMD to run a command prompt. Type CHKDSK /R and hit ENTER. Hit the letter Y and restart the machine. Allow the machine to do the check disk scan. After this is done and it goes back into Windows, try Expression Design again.

I'm trying to get up and running with nUnit, which has been pretty painful so far. I have successfully installed and added a reference to the nUnit framework, and I've successfully created a simple test--but get this error when I try to use the nUnit GUI:
C# .NET 4.0 Testing Framework?
On the advice of that post, I'm now trying to run nUnit from inside VS2010 with testdriven.net. I successfully installed testdriven.net, but when I re-start visual studio, I simply don't see the context menus described in the testdriven.net quickstart. How do I know if testdriven.net even installed correctly? What can I do to get up set up with testdriven.net or nUnit?
If you wanna check if it's installed, go to: Tools->Add in Manager, you should see it listed there.
If it's not there, then it is not installed, try the following:
try uninstalling from control panel 'TestDriven.Net 3.0 Personal', restart, then install again while visual studio is closed
make sure you download the RTM not the beta version, right click and unblock the zip file, install as admin.
