Windows 7 .net framework problem URGENT - for LocStudio installation

[lale ozer]

i tried to install MS Locstudio localization tool to Windows 7. It needs at least .net 2.0. But Windows 7 has .net 4 intsalled and there should be no problem. BUT:

it gave an error that says ".net 2.0 or later should be installed".

i searched the net and found some suggestions. so i checked the .net 3.5 option in "turn windows features on or off" setting. but it made no difference.

i tried to install .net 2.0, but it said "it is already installed".

PLEASE HELP. Since i use that software for my job, i strongly need a solution.

thanks

Go into your Programs and Features dialog and uninstall everything .NET

Download and install this...
Download .NET Framework

It should fix the problem.

thanks for your very quick response.
i'm a little bit hesitated to uninstall everything under .net, since i'm using the original windows 7 on my machine. could that version of .net be different than I have now?
(my machine is 64 bit by the way, can it be a problem? but i also take that error on my 32 bit windows 7 machine too.)

i checked my .net version on 64 bit windows 7: 4.0.30319
and i have .net framework extended with the same version number.

same version exist on my 32 bit Windows 7 starter. but it does nt have extended package.

thanks again.

I'm thinking that one or more registry entries associated with .net functionality may have become somehow corrupted. The Uninstall->Reinstall tactic is a means to ensure good working order... the latest version may or may not be part of the issue.
