Keirgarth Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 what .net files are you trying to run? I don't recall there being any .net files associated with Oblivion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LFact Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 what .net files are you trying to run? I don't recall there being any .net files associated with Oblivion. Some utilities require .NET framework to run. Of course, all you have to do is download .NET framework, and install it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keirgarth Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 I guess because I always have it installed I have never noticed the requirement hehe. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MShoap13 Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 A note on Microsoft .Net Framework. Some applications require you to have older versions of .Net Framework in order for them to run properly, and will not run with the latest version (v3.5 I believe). The catch 22 is that if you have v3.5 installed on your machine, Windows will not allow you to install the older versions. I personally recommend uninstalling v3.5 with Revo Uninstaller (this will automatically detect and ask if you'd like to remove the registry keys left behind by the uninstallation, alternatively you could do this part manually with CCleaner or something similar). Rebooting. Then installing v2.0, v2.5... v3.5 in sequential order. This may or may not be pertinent to what you're currently doing, but could save you some headache down the road if you ever install something that requires one of the older versions.

bben46 Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 Once the right version of the dotnet framework is installed properly, it will automatically run when it is required. You don't need to do anything. All versions are available from the Microsoft Windows Update site, and usually are installed automatically when you have automatic updates enabled. If you don't have the updates set to automatic, you will have to go to the site, manually select them, and allow them to be downloaded and installed.
