.net Framework

I do not appear to have this on my W7 Ultimate. A search returns nothing, nor is there any entry in Control Panel - Programs and Features. How do I proceed to aquire the latest version of it?

Hi KiwiBrian - Welcome to w7forums

Windows 7 comes with .net Framework 3.5

Windows update will always keep you up to date with the latest available

Can't figure out why I'm getting this error message. Windows 7 has NET Framework 3.5 so this error message should not be occuring. Is this the same type of problems you're having?

Possibly/probably. I am not sure which application/program I was trying to install. How do we verify whether or not .NET Framework actually is installed and if so what version?

Look under
"Control Panel >> All Control Panel Items >> Programs and Features"

then to the left for
"Turn Windows features on or off"

The list will show
"Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5.1"

Clifford,

If NET Framework 3.5 is installed why am I getting the message that I need to install NET Framework 2.0? I get this message every time I start my computer. I did try to install 2.0 but got the message that a newer version (3.5) was already installed. Getting the original message isn't the end of the world but it sure is annoying. Brand new computer. Windows 7 which claims to work so very well and be the answer to to many of the past problems....I don't think so. I'm also having trouble with IE which I suspect is also a Windows 7 problem. Every time I start IE up I get a message that IE was not shut down properly (it was). I've had this computer about a month and I've already been "blue-screened" once. I'm losing confidence in Windows 7 and Microsoft in general.

Hi guys

Have a look in this folder for all the versions installed.
"c:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\"

Read more here about it. This is where I found the location.
Which versions of the .NET Framework are installed

I have got that error several times last week when IE started in the morning.

BTW, I almost always Delete everything at the end of the day too.
Tools -> General Tab -> Delete -> [check all boxes] -> Delete ->OK.

The problem went away without any special action.

In both with XP and Win 7 I have had a delay when shuting down Windows after using EBAY only.
ccSvcHst or taskhost or something like that, hangs and sometimes I have to direct it to 'shut down now'.

Clifford,

Thanks for the info but I have checked and I already have all of the proper versions of NET.Framework installed. What I would like to know how to stop this message telling me to install the 2.0 version of this software every time I turn on my computer. If that information was in the information you suggested, it's either over my head and I'm not getting it or there isn't anything related to my problem in that article. Thnx, Beanko

You have a piece of hardware or software which has not been correctly updated for Windows 7. I suspect a printer, particularly Lexmark? Open Msconfig and , under the startup tab, scroll down and look for a possible printer program trying to start (If it is a Lexmark, it will begin LX) Untick it and reboot to see if the message has gone.
