FW 1.1 problemHello,
I have a friend who called me Saturday with a framework problem. It seems that after a Windows Update session that installed FW2.0 he was looking at his system and thought that he didn't need FW1.1 anymore and did an uninstall on it. Unfortunately for him a program his wife uses requires FW 1.1 and now he can't get it to install. Using AddRemovePrograms it shows as installed but sw built for it doesn't work. I tried sending him a small WindowsForms program to test with and it fails. Any suggestions on how to fix this would be appreciated. I'm fairly sure that he doesn't want to do a complete wipe and reinstall though that's what I would do. Ron Allen Ron Allen <RonAllen@newsgroups.nospam> wrote:

He tried both of these. The FW install fails with a 'later version installed' error and the SP just hangs. This is only reports by phone though as he lives about 250 miles from me so I can't just run over and try to resolve things. It's always frustrating to try to do things long distance. I'll suggest removing 2.0 and then trying to remove 1.1 again. If he could get 1.1 to uninstall things would probably work with the install.

Gary,
Well, he hasn't solved the problem yet. I don't think he wants to do the uninstall I suggested. They were using the software that used 1.1 (PrintShop I belive) to produce a church bulletin and I managed to get them a Word template file that worked just as well. The next time I visit them I'll look at this. I'm not sure just what the problem is. I suspect that the uninstall of FW1.1 didn't work as AddRemoveSoftware still sees it a installed but a simple WinForms program using 1.1 crashes immediately.

I wish you can resolve the problem in your next visit to him, removing the framework 2.0 at first would be the good approach. :) Have a nice day!
