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.

    Sept 27, 2013:   This procedure shows up on a lot of websites.  I needed to get .Net 1.1 back onto my system after doing a clean re-install of Win 7 Pro SP1 (just a few weeks ago - it and all updates went well).

    The 1.1 sequence, using c:\DotNet as recommended, seemed to work flawlessly. There were no error, unhandled exceptions, or other failure reports. But .Net 1.1 isn't there!  Netfx_Setupverifier.exe doesn't even list it to be verified (2.0, 3.0, 3.5 and 4.0 are listed and verified); and it doesn't show up in Control Panel > Programs and Features where, unlike 2.0 thru 3.5, I would expect it to be separately listed as it was before I reinstalled Win 7.

    What's missing?  Is there a service that needs to be running?  Is there some other Windows feature that needs to be turned on to let .Net 1.1 fully install?  Is there a registry key that I can fix?  I should also note that, when running netfix.msi - the final step in the procedure - at the very end the progress bar appeared to run backwards, as though a rollback were taking place. That lasted only a second or two, and there were no messages of any kind.

    Can anyone shed some light on this problem?  I know that many people in the past have appealed to this and other forums for help regarding .Net 1.1 on Win 7. I'm also aware that Microsoft no longer supports 1.1 on Win 7. But there must be a way to do it!

    Thanks in advance for any help and words of wisdom.
