I'm trying to use a program that has previously worked flawlessly. This program is called GHTCP, which is used with Guitar Hero 3 PC. It requires .NET Framework 2.0 or higher to use. All of sudden, the program just stopped working. I asked to program creator about this, and he said that it sounds like a .NET Framework so here I am.
I'm running Windows Vista. I've tried uninstalling and then installing .NET Framework 3.0 but thats not working. I found that .NET Framework is part of the OS so I can't remove it. Is there any way aside from repairing/reinstalling Windows that I can fix this?

.net 3.5 (Sp1) is included in Windows 7!
I stop here until MementoMori34 gives us an error message.

Fine, yes, the one with SP1 but NOT the first 3.5 version that was shipped, not as far as I remember,
but anyway, I think we had a good discussion here. Great. :)

EDIT: Andre RDs work and are for such, MS description, I've been programming and distributing custom tools in
Windows XP environments and the only way for my tools to work was by downloading and installing .NET Framework RDs,
here is Microsoft Brief Description:
"The Microsoft .NET Framework version 2.0 (x86) redistributable package installs the .NET Framework runtime and associated files required to run applications developed to target the .NET Framework v2.0."
For XP, yes! XP was released in 2001 and .net 2.0 was released in 2005. Sure that it is not included in XP.
Simply download the RD and run it on Vista and see the error message. Otherwise you don't understand that you are posting wrong things.
*facepalm*

Anyway, .NET Framework 3.5, 4.0 is NOT inlcuded under Windows Vista (or Windows 7),
this because they both were shipped later.
So one of these are required for the OP, now I am NOT sure of which. However, keep in mind
that what I am post is far more detailed and includes a lot more information then what you
have taken from my above posts. Anyway......
And I know what I am posting, I've been in MS programming projects before, don't you believe

Andre, AFAIK, .NET Framework RDs work well, they are built for software distribution,
if I build a Windows Application and my app uses .NET Framework, then a .NET Framework
or a redistribution package is required. I know that it is INCLUDED in Windows Vista and
Windows 7, didn't you read my posts above.....?
