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).

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).
Download Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 Redistributable Package (dotnetfx.exe ). Make sure the setup file is saved asdotnetfx.exe .
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.
Move both installation files into the same directory (i.e. C:\DotNet), if you’re not saving them together.
Open command prompt as Administrator .
Change to the directory where the two installation setup files for .NET 1.1 are saved (i.e. C:\DotNet).
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.

I just find it so hard to accept that with all of the know how and the fact that they designed all of the operating

systems involved along with they designed .net framework, that there is not a feasible, real way to install .net

framework 1.1 on windows 7, any version. This is obviously a issue, they are well aware of by now... as well as, it is

such a issue that you would figure they would fix it. but they give you jaded answers instead, and refer to processes

that do not work. The real answer is they made their money off of everyone through the purchase of the different

OS's they do not really care. They have this attitude that if it is not cutting edge it is not a issue they need to

concern themselves with. This is Microsoft support, be it with the operating systems, Microsoft programs, or the

gaming systems, they do not care about the issues, they just want more money for the next big exciting thing

they can force us to buy, or trick us into buying. This is why after the third straight X-box I had got the famous

red ring of death, I gave up and bought a PS3 and a Wii for my kids... It is also why I am not going to jump on

the kinect bandwagon, because it sounds to good to be true, reason being it is too good to be true. The product

will work, and it may survive, but from what I have read it updates itself every 24 hours, with improvements... I

would think if you have to update something everyday to keep it running properly then you are not out of the

testing phase yet... but, they have poured millions into it, and need to make money off of it now... Sorry to go off

on a tangent here... but there is a pattern here and a problem, it is the fact that Microsoft, does not seem to care.

The problem most people have is not the game/application itself but the fact that you sometimes cant install the damn 1.1 framework onto your Windows installation. I encountered the same problem with Lord of The Rings Online today, and when i tried to install the framework (bypassing incompatability warning) it kinda installed almost till the end and then gave me this warning:

[Quote]Application has generated an exception that could not be handled.

Process id=0xef8 (3832), Thread id=0xefc (3836).

Click OK to terminate the application.

Click CANCEL to debug the application.[/quote]

Last time i encountered this problem i had to reinstall my Windows 7 x64 (because of some other problem) and after the Windows installation i was able to install 1.1 framework on to a bare install of Windows 7x64.

Now my question is why the ____ does it install on a bare Windows 7 but not on a copy with installed drivers and applications?

And why for the love of god would someone in 2010 want to push framework 1.1 for their APP!!!???

The only thing i can think of is somehow bypassing the damn LOTRO launcher which is the obvious reason the game needs 1.1 framework, the only problem is you need the launcher to update the game...

I can also confirm what Michael said, that none of the workarounds work at the moment.
