I can't use programs that require .NET Framework.

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?

    Hi MementoMori34,

    • What is the exact error message with which the program stops working?
    • Did you follow the steps from the links (mentioned below) provided by Michael Murphy?

    **http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en/vistawu/thread/c4ba05b9-5f9a-4a52-906d-b182db553140**

    DW20.EXE is a Microsoft .NET Error Reporting Shim. Sometimes it’s called Microsoft Application Error Reporting. This file is part of Microsoft® .NET Framework. DW20.EXE is developed by Microsoft Corporation. It’s a system and hidden file.

    Check if there are any related error messages in event viewer.

    **What information appears in event logs (Event Viewer)?**

    ****Looking forward to hear back from you!

    Thanks and Regards, Santosh Y – Microsoft Support

    I am not here to chat with you in an OP's Thread, Noel.

    That is against Forum Rules.

    The OP receives alerts for posts made, including these.

    I hope the OP benefits from the information given.

    The .Net Framework info links I posted were for the OP and you.

    Cheers.

    And he is posting his question in the wrong Forum.

    I had already explained that to the OP.

    ...and your word is final?

    Sorry, neither forums nor newsgroups have ever worked that way

    I don't disagree that he's in the wrong group - I was just offering what may be a simple solution, and explaining why what he had tried already was probably not going to work. If it saves him the hassle of posting to a new forum, then job done. If it doesn't, then at least he has a little more data to take to the forum with him
