I was assisted by a Microsoft agent to install the October 1809 update. Everything looks and runs ok. But when I run Unity 3D,  I always get the above error. It also has the following info in the error. It is there even when Visual Studio is not started. Help to rectify this would be much appreciated. If I can't resolve i will have to revert to my older version of Windows..

Hi,

mscorsvw.exe accesses the internet without my consent, and even without notifying the user. It tries to access akamai and coudflare servers. For which purpose does this happen?

Thanks

How do I resolve this problem???

There is a TLS 1.2 patch for .NET 3.5.1 on Windows 7 machines here but it doesn't work with .NET 4.

Is there a TLS 1.2 patch for Windows 7 that will work with .NET 4? Thus far the only thing we've found that works is installing .NET 4.7.2. We are looking for a solution that doesn't require upgrading the framework for all of our customers.

Thanks

Hello all,

Do you know of any Microsoft plans to make .Net available ONLY on Azure ? (meaning ONLY on cloud, no availability on premisse ?)

Thanks in advance.

Best regards.

I am being notified of random "AppCrash" events with my application on the client server.  I have tested the code on my development machine and everything works as expected. 

I have my Winforms project set for x86, and by default the Visual Studio .net References are set to:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Reference Assemblies\Microsoft\Framework\.NETFramework\v4.5\System.dll

Now I have looked on the client server and this path doesn't exist. 

Is it possible that not having this path on the client could be the issue?

Clients claim .Net 4.5.2 is installed but I don't find those folders in either Program Files locations.

Is there a better or correct way of referencing .Net dlls to accommodate either 32/64 bit machines?  The current machine is a Windows 2008 server 64bit. 

Should I have my project set to Target Any CPU w/ Prefer 32bit?

[UPDATE]
Client Server has the following directories:

C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64
v2.0.50727
v3.0
v3.5
v4.0.30319

C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework
v1.0.3705
v1.1.4322
v2.0.50727
v3.0
v3.5
v4.0.30319

I do not find a 4.5.2 folder anywhere. 

I see that the file version of the System.dll is 4.7.3314.0

My application targets 4.5.2.
How does .Net do versioning in the sense of If my app requires 4.5.2, but the system has 4.7 installed does that work because it is 4.5.2 or later?

If I try and install 4.5.2 on the server the installer states that a newer version already exists.

Hi

Recently upgraded OS to windows 10, after when i try to install the visual studio 2010. when opening the the VS2010 am getting below error. The link given in the error message to download the SP1 is also not found.. Please help so urgent.



I have a WinForm application which gets installed to a mapped drive on the network.  This process will get repeated for every Desktop/Laptop that needs to use this exe. 
End Result Mapped drive contains all my DLL's and the EXE.  All network users point to this EXE.  It works great in this environment.

My issue is a different client is trying to use a Terminal Server(TS)/ Remote Desktop Environment to run my software.  If using the same mentality they should be map a network drive and then install my software on each user session. 

BUT their IT guy said you only need to install apps 1 time on a server.  So he did 1 time and the users are experiencing random app crashes, freezes, and strange errors that I have not been able to reproduce on any of our development machines.  Their IT person is reluctant to attempt to install on every user session claiming, "It doesnt matter".

What is the proper/ recommended way of installing software on a TS so that user sessions are not "stepping on each others toes"?  That is what I believe it happening. 

Thank you for any suggestions or feedback.

I was looking for a free Obfuscator tool for .NET 2.0 & 3.5.

I have checked out DotFuscator Community Edition. But that is limited to renaming. Does anyone knows of a similar tool with better obfuscation features on offer??

I need to uninstall .Net 4.7.2 from Windows Server 2012 R2.  I do not know how it got to this level.  I did not install it.  There is no KB UPDATE that installed it. I searched the list for all 4.7 KB's.   I am including screen shots from the registry and from Programs and features.   I am currently at version 4.5.1.

PROGRAMS & FEATURES



REGISTRY

"Unable to load the CLR. if a CLR version was specified for debugging, check that it was valid and installed on the machine. If the problem persists, please repair your Microsoft .NET Framework installation via 'Programs and Features' in Control Panel."

I'm getting this error when trying to debug my solution. I have tried everything I know to fix it. I repaired .NET frameworks, I uninstalled and re-installed all .NET frameworks and visual studio. I changed several options and I made sure my solution was using the right .NET framework. Any help would be appreciated. 

Hello!
Thinapp emulation abilities provides a chance to make FW3.5 .NET app be runable on FW1.1 without FW3.5 installed. But Thinapp costs really much($4495)! 
Does anybody know cheaper alternatives?

Hello,

I need some help please on installing SDK. I am running Windows 10 on all the systems I tested. Here is the full story to recreate it:

Go to : https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/desktop/wsw/tracing

Tracing uses Event Tracing for Windows (ETW). To take advantage of the tracing tools available with Windows Server 2008 R2, install the Microsoft Windows SDK from the MSDN Downloads site.

Click the MSDN Downloads and it will take you to 

https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=8279

Download the installer and start installation you will get his warning. Ignore it and the install will fail. So try to install .NET Framework 4 then it will complain saying that your system has the latest one and will not install. I tried on a couple of systems and same results. So I am caught between mutually dependent installs :(. Please advice.



I thought of uninstalling and .NET 4 I have but did not dare do it and get into further trouble with my existing working system :). I have about 15 of Microsoft.NET Framework 4.x.x products installed.
