Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v2.0.50727\mscorwks.dll error?

[Allen Drake]

Today I got this pop up message:

C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v2.0.50727\mscorwks.dll is
either not designed to run on Windows or it contains an error. Try
installing the program again using the original installation media or
contact your system administrator or the software vendor for support.

Now what in the world is this all about? Upon opening Outlook it went
through some reconfiguration something or other and opened. I can no
longer run iReboot and who knows how many other applications.

I tried system restore. Did not help so I undid that. I tried
removing iReboot and reinstalling but that didn't do anything. I still
get the popup and can not run iReboot. I looked for
Microsoft.NET\Framwork64\v2.0.5027 but that is not on the menu. I
searched for a fix but saw nothing that looked right but a bunch of
hoop jumping that seemed like it might take who knows how long.

Can anyone decipher this and explain to me what exactly went on? I
haven't installed any new apps other then Windows updates which now
seems to me to be my whole problem.

Did MS do it to me yet again?

Al.

Did you try to uninstall this IReboot and install it back?

You should call the software vendor for IReboot and discuss your course
of action concerning the error message.

As I mentioned in my post I removed iReboot and still got the error
message. I removed and .NET Framework 2 and tried reinstalling but it
says it is already on the system. Do you have any experience with this
error yourself or am I simply trying things like an Automobile
mechanic? Do you know the cause of this error? Everything was fine
until today which leads me to believe it was an MS Windows update
related problem. I would like to know the time I am spending is
something that has been verified and a known cure for a known
difficulty.

I have been using iReboot for many months with no problems so
obviously this is am MS generated mishap.

Yes? No? Unknown?

Do your MS updates get installed automatically, without your approval?

In my experience over the past ~20 years repairing personal computers,
99% of the time when customers say they didn't make any changes, they
mean they didn't make any changes they remember, or they didn't make
any changes they think may have caused this, etc. It very rarely means
they didn't make any changes. So can you think of anything?

Not obvious.

You used the word "removed" for iReboot and for .NET framework.

If you literally "removed" one or both of those, instead of doing a
proper uninstallation, you might very well have caused your own
problem.

..NET is not found in the Windows remove programs control panel,
(including Turn Windows Features On or Off), so you have to track down
how to do it (Google finds lots of stuff).

Thanks for trying to help. iReboot works on my dual boot WinXP drive
so it looks like I have some work ahead.

To me, it sounds like mscorwks.dll is corrupted.

One thing you can try, is the .NET verifier, which could
well run into the same kind of problem. It all depends on whether
there are enough test cases in this thing, to test loading
mscorwks or not.

You'd want to verify .NET 2.0, judging by the error message. Yours
is likely patched to .NET 2.0 SP2.

I'd probably do a fair bit of testing, before arriving at a final
conclusion. For example, you could try a program like paint.net as
a test case. I was trying that yesterday, as part of some .NET
screwing around. It's an example of a program that uses .NET. You'd
need a lot more programs like this, to get some degree of test coverage
that the file is OK.

The thing is, on an OS like Windows 7, a certain
level of .NET is installed as part of the basic

in the Add/Remove. Whereas, on an older OS like WinXP,
more of the .NET things would be removable from
Add/Remove.

My concern would be, removing too much of .NET and breaking
something bad enough you can't use the OS any more.

Is there a System File Checker for Windows 7 ? Would
..NET 2.0 be considered part of the OS, and covered by
something like that ?

I uninstalled iReboot properly. I tried to repair NET.Framework 2
from Win7 programs menu via control panel. That did nothing to help. I
then removed it using that feature and tried to reinstall but it said
it was already there. All along I get this error message. I
reinstalled iReboot but it doesn't work.
I have found other applications that no longer work. It looks like
this is going to be fun.

I uninstalled iReboot properly. I tried to repair NET.Framework 2
from Win7 programs menu via control panel. That did nothing to help. I
then removed it using that feature and tried to reinstall but it said
it was already there. All along I get this error message. I
reinstalled iReboot but it doesn't work.
I have found other applications that no longer work. It looks like
this is going to be fun.

I had to ask, since you did use that other word ;-)

No insult intended, of course.

But I couldn't find .NET in my "Uninstall a program" panel, and so I
Googled and saw references to various methods and tools for
uninstalling .NET. That's where I think you need to go...

*Wait a minute*. I just looked again, and guess what? I do see this in
the Uninstall panel:

Microsoft .NET Framework 4 Client Profile

I swear I looked under Microsoft before, but apparently not. Or at
least I didn't look in the right alphabetical place, since "." precedes
the other characters...

So just ignore me for now

And I apologize for muddying these waters...

To me, it sounds like mscorwks.dll is corrupted.

One thing you can try, is the .NET verifier, which could
well run into the same kind of problem. It all depends on whether
there are enough test cases in this thing, to test loading
mscorwks or not.

You'd want to verify .NET 2.0, judging by the error message. Yours
is likely patched to .NET 2.0 SP2.

I'd probably do a fair bit of testing, before arriving at a final
conclusion. For example, you could try a program like paint.net as
a test case. I was trying that yesterday, as part of some .NET
screwing around. It's an example of a program that uses .NET. You'd
need a lot more programs like this, to get some degree of test coverage
that the file is OK.

http://www.dotpdn.com/files/Paint.NET.3.5.10.Install.zip

*******

The thing is, on an OS like Windows 7, a certain
level of .NET is installed as part of the basic
install. What that should mean, is it isn't listed
in the Add/Remove. Whereas, on an older OS like WinXP,
more of the .NET things would be removable from
Add/Remove.

My concern would be, removing too much of .NET and breaking
something bad enough you can't use the OS any more.

Is there a System File Checker for Windows 7 ? Would
.NET 2.0 be considered part of the OS, and covered by
something like that ?

I am about to give it up. I started opening a few apps. I found some
that wouldn't run so I removed them either with their uninstall
feature or from Windows Control Panel. I still have many left to try.
All have been there long before the problem started. I am tired of
debugging another version of Windows that seems to have gone corrupt
possibly from Windows Update. I know understand why many have gone to
Linux. I have a few other systems that are running cleaner Win7 setups
that I think I will use and let this sit while I take a rest from this
MS BS.

I went to Windows update and found some downloads that were not
available until now regarding different .NET versions so I let WU have
it's way with my machine. It may have helped or not. I am not sure at
this time.

I also noticed Event Viewer is hosed so I have a whole different
situation to search about.

MMC could not create the snap-in. The snap-in might not have been
installed correctly.

there are enough test cases in this thing, to test loading
mscorwks or not.

You'd want to verify .NET 2.0, judging by the error message. Yours
is likely patched to .NET 2.0 SP2.

I'd probably do a fair bit of testing, before arriving at a final
conclusion. For example, you could try a program like paint.net as
a test case. I was trying that yesterday, as part of some .NET
screwing around. It's an example of a program that uses .NET. You'd
need a lot more programs like this, to get some degree of test coverage
that the file is OK.

The thing is, on an OS like Windows 7, a certain
level of .NET is installed as part of the basic
install. What that should mean, is it isn't listed
in the Add/Remove. Whereas, on an older OS like WinXP,
more of the .NET things would be removable from
Add/Remove.

My concern would be, removing too much of .NET and breaking
something bad enough you can't use the OS any more.

Is there a System File Checker for Windows 7 ? Would
.NET 2.0 be considered part of the OS, and covered by
something like that ?

This KB claims to help you run SFC on Windows 7, but
the content is a bit on the comedic side. Such as,
where exactly is the "known good" file in temp in this
article coming from ? Hahaha.

Aaron Stebner also offers a cleanup tool.
But that would be about the last thing I'd try (and would
do a backup image before trying it). Read the caveats here
first, before trying it. You would also want the standalone
installers ready, to put it all back again.

It looks like the file is rather large, and there is one
for 64 bit and one for 32 bit cases. Your 64 bit one is failing.

I can generate checksums for the files. This article has the checksum tool.
Using the "-both" argument, gets both checksum types. Usually, only
one checksum is enough.

That should give you enough info to compare against my copy.

It looks like I am missing much of what is needed as many of my apps
no longer work. Unless you have a solution as to how to restore what
somehow has been lost I am considering abandoning the install and
moving on. I just wish I knew what happened so I can avoid a
reoccurrence.

Have you heard about snipping?

I've heard of it. So why didn't YOU do it?

Wahahahaha...................
