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.

    I have Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit running on my PC. I installed the Game Lord of the Rings Online, and it tells me I

    need to install .net framework v.1.1.4322 on my PC. I went and downloaded it and SP1 from Microsoft, and it fails to

    install. I attempted the "work-around" suggested in one of the forums, by installing it through Command prompt in

    Administrator mode. I use the steps, and it tells me there are known compatibility errors with the .net v.1.1.4322

    and then if I push continua on that popup the PC tells me that it installed. But I cannot install the SP1, I get a error

    telling me that the patch file cannot locate the file to be patched. I attempted this for hours the other night, to no

    avail. I have disabled the .net 3.5 in the windows features on/off as well and tried this but it still did not work. I also

    used the windows installer clean up utility and removed all other versions of .net and rebooted and this still did not

    work. when i tried to install it from the installer i get a slew of errors and then it fails to install.  final error code is

    1935 i believe. I understand that certain things are not going to work and I understand it is the Manufacturer of

    the game who made the game run on that version of .net.but this is the newest version of the game directly

    downloaded from the website of the game. Since the game is now going to be free to everyone, I can only begin

    to assume that there will be hundreds of people who will be having the same issue that I am. this is not PC

    specific, because I have 2 other machines I tried this on, all running windows 7, one running home premium 32bit

    and the other also running Ultimate 32 bit, and each has the same errors and same issue. What was to be

    a family fun thing has turned into a family nightmare.  PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NONE

    OF THE FORUMS HAVE A SOLID ANSWER AND NONE OF THE 'FIXES' ARE WORKING. I doubt the manufacturer is 

    anytime soon, going to rewrite the game. Microsoft is full of some rather intelligent people. I must assume one

    of them can figure this out. you can respond to this post and hopefully someone will be able to fix this.
