2.127 .net version 4.5 window win 8.1 (solved)
« on: December 17, 2014, 06:19:50 AM »
I seem to have a problem where I keep getting a pop up window when I run Vox 2.127 system requirement window, it needs to be pressed ok and then it runs fine.
I tried to install .net 4.5 and it tells me I already have it so I done a bit of googling.

The deployment guide says that an application can test whether the .NET Framework 4.5 or later is installed by checking the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\NET Framework Setup\NDP\v4\Full folder in the registry for a DWORD value named Release. A value of 378758 means that the .NET Framework 4.5.1 is installed. This logic works correctly for the redistributable version of the .NET Framework 4.5.1. However, on Windows 8.1, the Release value is set to 378675 instead, so this logic doesn’t work on Windows 8.1.

I don't know what this means or if it even relates, I tried to understand it, any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Thanks for the info, and the leg work.  I'm not actually looking at that registry key at all.  I'm looking at another one, and maybe win 8.1 does not even have it.  Microsoft likes to move things around from time to time to keep us on our toes.   Sorry about the inconvenience.  For now your choice is to put up with the messages (avoid restarting, you almost never really need to completely restart VC much any more) or revert to version 2.1.2.5

This is my #1 priority, and I'll try to release a fix today.

Wow.  How ridiculous.

I am checking to see if the major and minor revisions satisfy a minimum value, and it works perfectly in Windows 7, but on Windows 8.1, for no reason that I can possibly fathom, the value of Environment.Version.MinorRevision is coming back as a negative value.   :o

   

Oh well, easy enough to fix by using Math.absolute values.  I will upload version 2.1.2.9 today.  First I will check if there is anything else that I want to slip into this release.
