Installation of .Net 1.1 on Vista

Question

I am facing issues while installing .Net 1.1 on vista OS 5372 or 5384.

Following are the errors

I am not able to attach the error message so below is the text

Regsvcs.exe - Common language runtime debugging services

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Application has generated an exception which could not be handled

Process id = 0xeac(3756) Thread id = 0xe34(3636)

Click Ok to terminate the application

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Please suggest if someone else have seen the same issue and pointers for resolution.

Answer 1

I am facing a similar issue , has anyone got a solution yet?

Answer 2

I get the similar error when installing thru prerequisite CD (.Net 1.1) on Windows Vista Build 5536

"Application has generated an exception that could not be handled.

Process id=0x918 (2328), Thread id=0xf24 (3876)."

Answer 3

I am currently testing some legacy apps that run on .NET 1.1 and am getting this same error when running them.

I have installed .NET 1.1, SP1 and am currently using RC1 (5600).

I have four apps to test and the only one that works is one that doesnt have any custom dll's, the ones that fail with this error are the ones that have custom dll's that dont have a signed public key tokens.

Will this conflict with the new Vista security model???
Will their have to additions to the code for elevating certain processes???
Am a bit lost with what needs to be done to get them to work. Running them in Windows XP compatability mode doesn't help.

Answer 4

Windows Vista has .NET v3.0 so there is no need to install .NET 1.0 or .NET 1.1 or .NET 2.0. I'm unsure if the current builds of Vista do actually have .NET 3.0 but will most certainly be shipped with it.

you should be able to run the applications straight away without installing any .NET Framework, but do not quote me on this. If you still cannot run the application on its own (without the .NET Framework being installed by yourselves) then try installing .NET 2.0.

Answer 5

Thanks for taking the time to reply.

 

They were applications that needed .NET1.1 to work and it was a matter of running the programs as an administrator, right clicking the executable and ticking the box "Run Program as an Administrator" to get them up and running as UAC was giving the obscure error and not reporting that the programs didnt have the necessary credantials to run. All the 1.1 apps that I was asked to test out on Vista worked after doing this. Running in Win XP compatibilty mode didnt help.

The dual administrator way of doing things is a bit confusing really. As the installation shortcuts created we of the lesser administrator rigths and so any of the processes that were run from these didnt have the correct credentials and had to be changed manually.

Moved thread to ".NET Framework Setup" forum.

Answer 7

All version of the .NET framework are installed on Windows Vista.  .NET versions are designed to be installed side by side.  If you have an application that requires a particular version of the .NET framework than you can use an application configuration file to specify the version of the .NET framework that the application should use.  - Greg

In the Windows Vista unlimited Edition v6.0 i saw only .Net Framework 1 and 2. There was no .Net Framework 1.1 or 3. Also all the attempts to install .Net Framework 1.1 on this version of Vista failed.

When i try to run ACT 5.0 i get a prompt to install .NEt 1.1 and then the system is not allowing .NET 1.1 in getting installed. Can anyone help me in  solving this problem?

One useful link is http://blogs.msdn.com/astebner/archive/2006/07/06/658484.aspx but that failed to help.

I tried to install VS.NET 2003 on Vista, when come to the prerequisites, which install the .NET 1.1 framework, I can't get it through, is that mean VS.NET 2003 no longer supported on Vista?

Answer 12

Hi,
I am facing the same problem during installing .NET 1.1 framework on Vista (Ultimate).
RegScvs.exe - CLR debugging.
I am getting same problem during installation of VS2005.
How we can convey this problem to Microsoft???

Answer 13

Hi all,

I want to clarify one thing - one of the posts on this thread states that all versions of the .NET Framework are included in Windows Vista.  That is not true - only the .NET Framework 2.0 and 3.0 are included in Windows Vista.  For applications that specifically require the .NET Framework 1.0 or 1.1, you will have to install the redistributable setup package.

For folks running into an issue with regsvcs.exe on Windows Vista, I suggest trying the following workarounds (in the order listed - I put them in order of what I think the likelihood is that they'll be helpful):

1.  If you are installing on a pre-RC1 build of Windows Vista (builds less than 5600) - http://blogs.msdn.com/astebner/archive/2006/07/06/658484.aspx (this is a bug in earlier builds of Windows Vista that was fixed in RC1, so skip this step if you already have RC1, RC2 or RTM because it won't help)

2.  Try to disable non-essential system services and installing afterwards - http://blogs.msdn.com/astebner/archive/2006/11/25/disabling-services-with-msconfig-to-work-around-setup-failures.aspx

3.  Try to disable the MSDTC service - http://blogs.msdn.com/astebner/archive/2006/01/08/510677.aspx

4.  Try to disable Data Execution Protection and install afterwards - http://blogs.msdn.com/astebner/archive/2005/07/27/444085.aspx

5.  Check OS locale settings (will only affect some newer OS locales introduced in XP SP2 or later) - http://blogs.msdn.com/astebner/archive/2005/07/24/442747.aspx

6.  Set a breakpoint to workaround timing issues during setup - http://blogs.msdn.com/astebner/archive/2006/05/17/workaround-for-possible-timing-issue-that-can-cause-net-framework-setup-failures.aspx

Hopefully one of the above will be useful in these scenarios.  If they are not, I suggest contacting Microsoft technical support for further assistance.  You can find contact information at http://support.microsoft.com (choose the Developer Tools option in the menu when calling), and you should receive a free support case for setup-related issues such as this.

Thanks!  Aaron
