Net framework 1.1 incompatible and will not run in Windows 7 64-bit. I desperately need the program to work, and it is dependent on 1.1 being installed.

This has been known forever, from Vista through to Windows 7.

The solution to it is simple, and was posted on mydigitallife website ages ago (do a search for "mydigitallife net 1.1").

Otherwise here is a a copy/paste to install .Net 1.1 and SP1 into Vista or Win7 (32 or 64 bit).

  1. Create a new folder named **DotNet**in C:\ drive (C:\DotNet is used in this guide, you can change to any folder you prefer, but ensure that you use correct path in the following steps).
  2. Download Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 Redistributable Package (dotnetfx.exe ). Make sure the setup file is saved asdotnetfx.exe .
  3. Download Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 Service Pack 1 (NDP1.1sp1-KB867460-X86.exe ). Make sure that the file is renamed and saved asdotnetfxsp1.exe , so that the rest of the steps can be followed easily.
  4. Move both installation files into the same directory (i.e. C:\DotNet), if you’re not saving them together.
  5. Open command prompt as Administrator .
  6. Change to the directory where the two installation setup files for .NET 1.1 are saved (i.e. C:\DotNet).
  7. Run the following commands one by one, press Enter after each one.
    • dotnetfx.exe /c:"msiexec.exe /a netfx.msi TARGETDIR=C:\DotNet"
    • Then click on “Yes” when prompted to answer “would you like to install Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1. Package?”
    • dotnetfxsp1.exe /Xp:C:\DotNet\netfxsp.msp
    • msiexec.exe /a c:\DotNet\netfx.msi /p c:\DotNet\netfxsp.msp

Install Microsoft .Net Framework 1.1 with slipstreamed/integrated Service Pack 1 by running netfx.msi created in the working folder.

Here's the sequence to install .NET Framework 1.1, Service Pack 1 and  patches on Windows 7 if your application requires .NET 1.1 runtime.

dotnetfx.exe (Microsoft .NET Framework Version 1.1 Redistributable Package) http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=262D25E3-F589-4842-8157-034D1E7CF3A3&displaylang=en

NDP1.1sp1-KB867460-X86.exe /Q /L:c:\Net11-sp1-KB867460.log

NDP1.1sp1-KB891865-X86.exe /Q /L:c:\Net11-sp1-KB891865.log

NDP1.1sp1-KB886903-X86.exe /Q /L:c:\Net11-sp1-KB886903.log

All the .NET Framework versions can live side by side.  Microsoft .NET 1.1 extended support retied on 10/8/2013http://support.microsoft.com/lifecycle/search/Default.aspx?sort=PN&alpha=.NET+Framework

Hope this help.

    You're an absolute tosspot. Get over it and realise that Microsoft are the leaders in modern technology. Apple are running behind. The PS3 and Wii are nothing compared to the Xbox360.

    Windows 7 x64 service pack 1 will stop you from trying to install .netframework 1.1

    You can talk all day about trying to install it but the guaranteed fact is, 1.1 will never ever install on a windoze 7 x64 service pack 1 configuration, in fact it never worked before hand either.

    I spent a very very long time trying to create a work around for this, and the only guaranteed way of ensuring you can install this, is getting rid of bloatware 7 and going back to the superior and faster windows xp 32 bit.

    I doubt they will ever fix this issue and it's true that companies using an old version of dotnet framework should pull their heads out.

    The likes of Turbine are going to get a severe hammering with this serious issue of not being able to install 1.1, now more than ever as its becoming easier and easier and more common for people to use windoze 7 64 bit which ever flavor.

    Quite why the retards used an out of date framework to begin with eludes me, since when they began the process of development for LOTR we where well into service 2 for almost a good year...but LOTRO is doing very poorly and I don't think it will be around much longer...hence why they where forced to go f2p...no subscribers and still havent't

    As for other applications need 1.1...you have 1 choice, go back to your old version of windows...and for those complaining about not having the discs...why would you not have your windows xp disc???...if you threw it away...thats your problem..not anyone else's. I am using windows 7 64 ultimate and on a different partition windows xp

    Not true I installed it on my Win7 64bit SP1 with out a hitch and LOTRO plays just fine.
