Neuro-programmer 3.exe - .Net Famework Initialization Error please set registry key HKLM\SOFTWARE\MICROSOFT.NET FRAMEWORK\ install root to point to the .NET Framework Install location Can anyone help me resolve this error- I installed this program for the first time on to my windows 10 x64 brand new laptop and it is supposed to be compatible with windows 10 - when I try to open it I get the above error. i had to use revo to uninstall should I try to fix this before I re install or should I reinstall first and fix later. Any idea how to fix this - I have never edited a registry and am kind of nervous to do so- I need this computer to make a living and don't want to mess it up- took me weeks to get it set up in the first place so don't want to have to do a wipe and restore. I hope I posted this in the right category Thanks so much any help will be greatly appreciated Michelle

FWIW: I got this working using Parallels and an old copy of Windows 8.1. I already had Parallels installed on my Mac to run Win 10, so I just added a new virtual machine for version 8.1 (for which I had an old license key). It still seems so ridiculous that I have to install and run an entire Operating System just get this one application to work.

Hmm, Microsoft has the ISO for Win7, though they want a product key. I think I have the ISO for Win8, though the Virtual Box does not seem to include this option. https://www.microsoft.com/en-ca/software-download/windows7 There are other urls online that offer a free Win7 download, though I am somewhat unsure of them.

That's great! I have the Virtual Box, though the snag is that I do not know where (if) I have a copy of Win7 around. If I had a WIN7/8 etc. disc around, could I just put this into my DVD drive and it would somehow boot off it? Does Microsoft have a url where you could download old versions of Windows? This would be a very handy service for these sorts of occasions.

Thanks for your response, and I think I have a work around. Download Virtual Box (free) and download Windows 7 in Virtual Box, and run Neuroprogrammer from the Virtual Box in Windows 7. I am working on this task as we speak. Just formating my USB so I can work with an ISO copy of Windows 7. I will update you all. Thanks.

Same problem as everyone else. I hope that they can find a workaround. NP is probably the best value of any software I have bought online. I think I have had it for about 20 years and whenever I needed a new key for a new computer they would just send me another one. Perhaps they were too generous and not piling the money back into keeping the software up to date. I have been able to link up NP3 with my Mindwave (Neurosky) which is very cool, so I hope that this .NET Framework issue can be resolved.
