delete any trace of .net framework in your uninstall programs list. reinstall in this order: 2.5, 4.0, 4.5 then get back to me

[Tsuchigumo550]

64 bit.

The program i want to run is in Program Files (x86), if that helps.

[Tsuchigumo550]

Wait. 4.5 was a beta build, right?

Also, wouldn't downloading 4.5 either force me to update to the one I'm missing or do it for me?

That's assuming Microsoft isn't being a complete dick, which means Statement/Question 2 is probably false.


Updating to full 4.0 according to the service tech... which means some random Microsoft help page:

KB2468871v2 does not apply, or is blocked by another condition on your computer.
HA HA HA FUCK YOU TOO.
The other one, the bigger one that I think is actually the right one, is still downloading. Along with Scribblenauts Unlimited on Steam. 12 more minutes to glory. I can do this.

on newegg it is.

[Tsuchigumo550]

Oh. Thanks computer. Thanks a lot. Both. Both supposed updates are blocked by conditions or not needed.

I also can't find where/how to uninstall/reinstall previous updates. I may be going to a specialist for this...

[Tellemurius]

when you are on the uninstall programs list, there should be a option on the left side to view installed updates

[Tsuchigumo550]

I'm on my desktop now, which worked. In fact, Steam was nice enough to download the complete 4.0 .NET framework by itself.
So I'm going to nuke anything dealing with 4.0 then let Steam work it's magic again.

[Tellemurius]

thats not bad, tell me the results

[Tsuchigumo550]

Hmmm. Now it's trying to do something similar with Direct X but nothing has popped up telling me it's working. Errr, not sure what's happening with Super S

Well, all is well, it seems. Oh. Don't have a "defused doused nuclear rocket donkey", it crashes the game.

What about all the .net updates in the "optional" tab in Windows Update?

[Tsuchigumo550]

Everything is fixed well enough now.

If I reinstall Windows 7 on an ssd, do I need to reinstall all of my programs? Or would I just be able to copy the stuff from program files on the old drive to program files on the new drive? I'm thinking I'll have to reinstall everything but I thought I should ask before I went through the work.

You should be able to copy it all across - think of it (in the most unethical way possible) as torrenting a file/folder; it's basically just copying it from the server to the client.  When I replaced my super-dodgy Windows XP install with a Windows 7 and copied it (and all the programs) across to a new HDD, everything worked fine.  You may want to defrag the SSD afterwards though because big moving can throw files all over the place, and that can slow things down a l o t.

I think a lot of things will need reinstalled as a load of config stuff is usually written to the registry.  Only older basic programs dont usually need reinstalled.
