Monica21 Posted December 9, 2017 Posted December 9, 2017 I got a new PC about 6 months ago and decided to have another run through DAI. I downloaded the most current version of DAI Tools Suite and a bunch of new mods. Tried to run Tools Suite, hit Download for Mod Manager, and got "An error occurred when trying to contact the server." I found a link for Mod Manager, tried to set the file path for the executable, and ModManager crashed. After doing some googling, I came to the assumption that my version of .NET Framework is too new. (I have 4.7 and it should be 4.6 or older.) So I successfully removed .NET Framework 4.7. I tried installing .NET Framework 4.6 and got an error message that that version or higher was currently installed on my PC. It's not. I've checked the registry, etc. I created a Tapatalk account to attempt to access the DAI Modder forums, but apparently I can't register. You can't simply uninstall .NET Framework 4.7. You have to use a special tool to remove it and its registry entries. When people get newer PCs with newer OS's and newer software, they will find it more and more difficult to play a modded Inquisition. This is frustrating. Given that technology continues to advance and given that software will continue to get newer versions, are there any plans to update ModManager to be compatible with .NET Framework 4.7?
Rabbit1251 Posted December 9, 2017 Posted December 9, 2017 Which Mod Manager are you using, Monica? If it's the Nexus Mod Manager then issues with it are best discussed here: https://forums.nexusmods.com/index.php?/forum/439-open-beta-feedback/. Someone there should be able to help you with your problem. Good luck. The Rabbit

But maybe Rabbit 51 meant to ask the same thing I will: "Which mods?" :huh:

Because then it crashes. Because it's built on an old version of .NET Framework and no one has touched it in more than two years.
nightscrawl Posted December 10, 2017 Posted December 10, 2017 I'm not sure what your issue is, but I have 4.7 and everything is running fine. I merged and ran DAI with mods loaded (well, a single mod) just the other day. You say, "After doing some googling, I came to the assumption that my version of .NET Framework is too new." How exactly did you come to this assumption?

The Rabbit Dragon Age: Inquisition doesn't use the Nexus Mod Manager, but its own separate modding tool that was created by the community. Posting in these DAI forums was the right move.

How exactly did you come to this assumption? Specifically this post in a thread where the person was having a nearly identical issue. That said, if it can work on 4.7, then I'm open to troubleshooting.
nightscrawl Posted December 11, 2017 Posted December 11, 2017 Do you have the older versions on there as well? My computer is a few years old, now, but has various versions of .NET that I've gotten through Microsoft. Since doing the initial upgrade to Windows 10 from Windows 8, I've since gotten the 10th Anniversary Update as well as the most recent Fall Creator's Update. So I actually have several versions of .NET sitting around -- 2.0, 3.0, 3.5, 4.0, and 4.7. You can see them in Regedit, under Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\NET Framework Setup\NDP If you don't, you could just try installing an older version. This article explains why having older versions is important. Some download links here.

Trying to install older versions doesn't work as you get an error message stating that a version of 4.6.2 or newer is currently installed and the installation cancels. (I've tried that too.)
