Dot net 2.0 and 4.62 are 2 different things....you need Dot net 2.0

Dear Patio,

Please go through carefully...as the 2 messages are "Contrary" to each other!
The latter screen suggests that Higher version installed already & the former indicates ---.Net 2.0 OR Higher is required!

But the Higher version is already there (as indicated by the latter section)

Therefore, what's causing such a contrast?

Please suggest...

Microsoft did not foresee at the time that .NET 4 would use a completely new CLR and thus be incompatible with running .NET 2.0 code.

Hello BC_Programmer :-)

So kindly help suggest a quick FIX? I have attempted installing the Latest version which in turn is prompting the II of the two messages!

Should I exclusively look out for .NET Framework 2.0 from somewhere & attempt installing the same?

Is that what you intend to suggest?...Please advise.

As i tried to explain in my Post above and failed miserably at the .Net frameworks are NOT cumulative...
Which means basically a newer version does NOT mean the older version is included.

Basically what it means is if you have an app that needs .net 2.0 then you need to find and install.net 2.0

Thanks Patio!

By following your advice I were able to get hold of .NET Framework 2.0 from filehippo.com, & the issue has now disappeared! Great!
