eCtune new version update problem

97 teg · Post by **97 teg** » Thu Mar 20, 2008 8:24 pm

Hi I'm having problems opening the new version of eCtune after i received and email in the mail from Calvin stating to do a Force update from the start menu in order to use the new version. I did the force update and it updated fine but when i click to open ectune i get an error saying that i have to install net frameworks 2.0 and or 3.5. I have frameworks 2.0 and 3.0 already installed on my laptop. I tries to install 3.5 but im getting an error every time i try and do the update. Has anyone encountered this problem and found a solution? PS eCtune was working fine on my laptop before the new version came out. Thanks

That would be an issue with the .net installation and possibly your computer; you might want to see MS help forums unless you can be more specific about the error(s)... I am still trying to get .net3.5 to install on WINE, but ti does not have the compatibility checks for it to install proper.... working on it though =) .net 1.1 runs on Linux though =) Hope you figure it out! make sure you get the .net 3.5 redist from the MS website.

this is the error i am getting.

why would the previous version of the program work and now the update doesn't? I am running xp professional [/img]

because you need to install .net framework 3.5 for this version

Does anybody read the error message? Looks simple to me! Install .net!

yeah to me 2. I make it easier and people see it as an error. Simply install damm .net frame work 3.5

How about adding a link in the message box to a post here on the forum that would contain the links to download all versions of framework

Well yes and no. Maybe itÂ´s not worth the effort, as any new (full) install now will automatically download and install the correct .net version if required. /Allan

The message says 2.0 is also good, that is confusing... btw installing 3.5 is a little disaster. My laptop only succesfully installs from microsoft self, the auto install fails and my 2nd system, a pc, simply can't install 3.5 because I don't have Pro SP2 on it, but Pro. So no more widescreen eCtune log analysing for me

. But on the laptop, it did work... and worked good I believe.

SP2 can be installed on home edition too. .Net framework 3.5 should always install. otherwise your os has a problem. For that i refer you to ms support. But baseline eCtune won't run without 3.5

Ok I know what the prob was i was trying to install an incorrect version of frameworks 3.5 here is the link to anyone else that made a foolish mistake like i did http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/deta ... laylang=en eCtune loaded up fine. Thanks for all the replies but it was a simple fix

I'll write: Verify that you have .net 2.0 and 3.5 installed. If not please goto Microsoft and download/install. Clear?

mmkay, so both 2.0 and 3.5 must be installed? Maybe this can explain some weirdness I had on a customer laptop the other day. eCtune would load (but with error) , fuel table showed but the fuel graph was replaced by a big red X or something. I knew we would be offline, so I had downloaded the full dotnet 3.5 redist version in advance... but not 2.0 . /Allan

3.5 and 3.0 need 2.0 I think it's best to say 2.0 3.0 3.5
