Title: Microsoft .NET Framework
Post by: Simon on August 02, 2005, 23:08

I am trying to install some audio editing software, but halfway through the installation process, I get this:-

I have encountered this before, with another program, but once installed, I found it had created a user account for itself, and forced me to log in each time I started my PC, which I don't want to do, so I uninstalled it.

Can someone explain what this is, what it does, and why should an audio editing program need it?

I found the same that it created a user account on mine too Simon.
Its microsofts version of netmeeting similar to msn messengers, not sure why it needs it for your program to work though.
I found that I could delete the user account, leaving the net framework installed and that stopped me needing to log in when my pc started  :)

Thanks guys,  I don't see why this program needs to install this thing, so I think I'll stick to the old version for now, which doesn't.  This also happened when I tried to install NASA World Wind.  If ever I desparately need something which has to have Microsoft .NET Framework, I'll do as you suggested, Sandra.  :)

it needs to install it becuase that program uses .NET without it it wont run. A good example would be trying to get a game to work that needed Direct X and you needed to install it first.

Yes, I realise that, Sam, but what I don't understand, is why?  Version 7 doesn't need it.

they've probably either incorporated some .net into it or rewrote it in a more advanced way. .net seems to becoming a very trendy way of doing things at the moment
