Woodelf777 Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 Vortex updated this morning and although it has been working fine till now, when I try to install any mod I receive a pop-up telling me I need to install .NET Framework files. .NET is already installed, I even went to try and reinstall it but the installer says, it is already installed. I tried to install an older version of Vortex but I get i message basically telling me it's my funeral if I try to run it now that the newer version has been installed an run. Hopefully there is an easy fix for this. Thank you :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest deleted34304850 Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 read the change log for 1.6 (beta) here https://forums.nexusmods.com/index.php?/topic/6360526-current-version-1513-stable-160-beta/ you can see that it will automatically attempt to install .NET 6 when it starts up. it did this for me earllier today and all is fine. when you say .NET is already installed can you verify it.s the .NET 6 installer that's telling you that?if it already installed - you may see that there's an entry for it in your downloads page - you can delete that if it's already installed, and that should prevent vortex trying to re-install it again? you shouldn't roll back vortex - bad things can happen - if being in the beta channel is not what you want, you can change this in your settings in vortex. just choose the stable channel.

Tannin42 Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 This is a bit of a mess Microsoft created. ".NET" and ".NET Framework" are not the same thing. ".NET Framework" was the original runtime for programming languages like c# and got "abandoned" at version 4.8 in 2019.".NET" started as parallel development - originally for server applications i think - but is now the "official" .NET implementation MS supports. However: while .NET Framework was - at least by default - installed with Windows, .NET is not. That's why Vortex checks whether it's there and installs it if necessary. The detection whether .NET is installed and working should be fairly robust, it's provided by MS themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
