Hi,
I have a clean Vista x64 with SP2 directly from MSDN, no updates installed. I'm installing .net 3.5 sp1 32 bit, which inturn selects (2.0 sp2, 3.0 sp2, and 3.0). When trying to install .net 2.0 sp2, I get "could not be installed, please use windows update to manually install this update on your system' Strange thing is, it's already on my system. Looking at the .net2 sp2 check script, it looks at the version of mscorwks.dll, on my system it's 2.0.50727.312. The script checks if it’s lrdd than 2.0.50727.3052 then it needs installed. So it runs “NetFX2.0-KB948609-v6001-x86” and IA fails. When I run “NetFX2.0-KB948609-v6001-x86” by hand, I get the following: “The update does not apply to your system”.
So... I install 2.0 sp2 by hand and IA moves on to .net 3, and I get the same failed results.
What can be done to get IA9 to work?
Thanks,
Mike
Installing 32 bit .net frameworks on x64 Vista
Hi Andy,
Thanks for the quick reply! I don't think that's correct. I can run a 32bit .net app on a 64 bit machine using the 32 bit .net framework. On my vista x64 dev box, I have 32 bit and 64 bit .net framework installed and working. dotnetfx35.exe from Microsoft installs both 32 and 64 bit runtimes on my x64 vista test box.
Thanks,
Mike

Just because you can run a 32-bit .NET application on a 64-bit OS has nothing to do with installing the native 32-bit only .NET Framework. It has to do with the fact that the 64-bit install of the .NET Framework puts both on for you, correctly, using SxS (side-by-side) and correct registry entries and sections for 32 vs 64 bit.
If you try downloading and installing the .NET Framework (32-bit only version) onto a 64-bit machine it will say negative as far as I know. I've never heard of or needed to install 32-bit .NET Framework onto any of my 64-bit systems...as I've always installed the correct version built for 64-bit which installs both. This is why on a 64-bit development system you can switch from x86/x64 or AnyCpu in the Visual Studio environment and target one or the other, or both natively.
