Answer 1

Hi VB Newbee,

I am moving this thread from Base ".Net Framework Setup" forum to the "Visual Basic General" forum, since the issue is related to VB programming. There are more VB experts in the "Visual Basic General" forum.

Thanks

Hi VB Newbee,

Welcome to MSDN forums!

"Manifest File 'C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\default.win32manifest' cannot be found"

-> This issue generally happens when using Orcas for some old .NET 2.0 projects.
Solution: Copy default.win32manifest from WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v3.5 to WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727 folder.

Please check this thread for some workaround, which discussed the similar issues to yours.
