System Requirements for DC ?

Post by paniccom »

Just wondering what version of Microsoft .Net Framework is required to run this pgm. I have NF 4 client profile and NF 4 extended, which I believe covers all of the latest NF downloads, but the trial version of Dup Clnr 3 would not install; it says NF is not installed. What is the version necessary? v2 ?

I'm only guessing, but I'm going to say 2.0.
AFAIK .NET 3.5 includes 3.5 & 3.0 & 2.0 (which is what I have installed, & DC 3 works).

(I do not have .NET 4.0 installed.)

.NET 4.0 may or may not be compatible with earlier versions & seemingly in order to use 4.0 (alone), the application needs to be compiled appropriately.

Does the .Net Framework 4.0 Installer include the .Net Framework 3.5?

therube is correct, DC requires .NET 2 minimum, and runs fine on 3.0, 3.5. It's not currrently flagged as fully compatible with 4.0, so you will need to install 3.5, which i believe runs fine alongside 4.0.

Thanks to both of you. I installed NF 3.5 and the pgm ran fine. BTW, when the NF installer was finished, I checked add/rem pgms (winxp) and saw the following new entries:
MS NF 2.0 Service Pack 2
MS NF 3.0 Service Pack 2
MS NF 3.5 Service Pack 1
I guess they're all necessary or else it would have just showed 3.5. Kind of odd, after being used to most pgms just using the most current version when installing. I had NF 4 Client Profile installed before adding 3.5. It was the latest and I think the most bare min. version of the .Net series, and I only added it because paint.net pgm required a NF install and that one worked. I'm finding now that the 3.5/3.0/2.0 setup keeps causing lots of updates to show up (auto updates is on). They're all security updates. Kind of wish Dup Cleaner didn't require a NF install, or at least if v4 worked.
