Solved .NET Framework Initialization Error

  • 2

I have a CompaqPresario S5300NX running Windows XP Service Pack 3 through AVG antivirus. Went to Compaq site to update drivers and applications etc and before HP Support Solutions would scan and download an application to check for updates to install I was hit with .NET framework initialization error. It stated,
“to run this application you must first install one of the following versions of the .NET framework
v4.0
v2.0.5.0727
Contact your application publisher for instructions about obtaining the appropriate version of the .NET framework”
I went to Microsoft knowledge database but haven’t a clue what version is appropriate for my computer. Can someone give me a clue?

      It’s not about which version is right for that computer, it’s which version is needed for the software installed that needs version 4 of .Net Framework

      Here is the installer for .Net Framework version 4. It will work on XP.

      You don’t need to install any drivers for CD/DVD drives, Windows has the correct drivers built in. If they don’t work, than it’s most likely a dead drive.
