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.

    Jason, that is a work around that DOES NOT work on all versions of Windows 7, trust me, I found that solution a lifetime ago... doesn't work on 7 Ultimate 32 or 64bit or 7 professional 64 or 32 bit. it DOES work on Home version of 7 but that is it. You can spend all day on the other versions following those steps and installing it. but it never actually installs on either of those versions... sad but true, thanks for your help tho.

    I just tried Jason's suggestion and it installed fine on Win7 Ultimate x64. At least, the application that required it, stopped complaining and installed itself.

    Not sure but it might have made a difference that I have UAC disabled for my user account.
