Re: [H] MS dot-NET-COMPLETE!

2010-08-16 Thread DSinc

For Scott/Chris,
Apologies!  I ended this thread too soon.  Dot-Net V4 does NOT work on 
this new build.
After checking my even log, I find chronic errors; all of then coded 
against the V4 install.
I have deleted it and gone back to what now appears to be an 
NON-Upgadable V1.1 initial install of V1.1.   More surprising is that 
even though I had deleted/removed V1/1, it was still present and happily 
re-installed.
Truly, I do NOT wish to know why.  I grasp that it may be beyond my 
understanding.  In any case, my new build XP-pro that appears to be 
fully patched (08/13/10) and happy so far with just the base V1.1 dot-net.


For now, I will truck on from here.  Should I do/load something needing 
more mature dot-net, I will deal with it then.  For the moment, LIB now 
runs error-free and again crash-free.


End Status:
o-The keyboard may not have been bad (sticky Enter key). Still 
evaluating this.

o-The HD still appears to be OK, though I watch it daily. (?)
o-The original psu is the reason this rebuild was so dynamic and fraught 
with additional time wasted on the previous two items.  New psu is in 
research at this time. Plan is for Seasonic (2x)!  Suspect the current 
psu in (lib) is not long for this world; it is 1 s/n away from the 
suspect unit!  So, new is a good thing.


More LIB status to follow as I finish base apps needed for possible 
replacement "AS" my old W2KServer OS machine. Study continues.

Thank you all for your suggestions and opinions. The collective wins again!
Best,
Duncan

All,
I am confused with what MS is doing with dot-net versions. I asked
before, and installed it on my clients whether needed or not. Yes, I
believe 1 or 2 of my clients need it due to their app-stacks. The
collective was correct. A mostly painless addition.

My new build client would not move dot-net forward from the initial
[optional] v1.1 install. The client would fail and/or crash trying to
install the v1.1 sp1 patch also. Odd.
But, I suspect that MS wished me to be somewhere else. Humorous how this
works when I allow WGA and WinUpdates !

Most confusing to me during this fal-der-al, this XP client was never
granted visibility / access to the V2 compendium I have seen on my other
XP clients. Odd.

Problem is now solved.
I deleted the original v1.1 install of dot-net on the client. This
client freely accepted ONLY the V4 dot-net [optional] install KB. Every
earlier version of dot-net offered failed. Ho-hum? Again, I
suspect/accept MS direction.
No matter any longer.

The new rebuilt client is built, fully patched and using V4 dot-net.
Now I can complete burn-in and future integration.
Thank you all who shared suggestions, opinions, links, other.
This "dot-net" thread is now dead.
I will think about V4 updates to remaining clients. Later. Much later!!
LOL!
Best,
Duncan

OK. Then this is just my bad. V4 croaked on 3 of my clients w/3.5sp2.
I just gave up. Not really worth knowing why. With XP I do not go
looking for extra challenges!
I am not good at TS any OS. I found W2K to be bullet-proof. XP is
getting to that status "for me!"
I have bigger problems to deal with! LOL!

Joe/Bobby/Rick/Scott,
We can close this thread. I'll figure something out.

I understand. Yes, I started using a program that needed dot-net 2 years
ago. Probably still use, but can not recall which ATM. Could be Mozilla
TBird, Intuit, Nolo, Bond Wizard, or, some subtle change my online
banking software implemented in a major update years back. Sorry. Stuff
happens. LOL!

I asked here and was convinced to just start using dot.net. I have seen
no negative behavior since. I started at v1.1. I seem to be at v3.x sp1
now on my main office client.

The newest version 4.x does not work with XP. Fine. No issue. I am
completing a new build of XP on what has turned out to be a very
challenging set of hdw. Years back I researched dot-net via MS KB's. I
was lead to believe I DID NOT have to re-install all the previous
versions of dot-net to come current; that all new versions contained all
the necessary links and bits of the old version. OK. That makes sense.
It just does not seem to work... Fails to install ATM.

Summary: I'll just reload v1.1 base and wait for MS to decide what else
is necessary!
Thanks,
Duncan

Cool, but we both had issues :)

And there's this:

Also, to note, I don't use .net other than for applications such as vmware
vsphere client so YMMV.

2010-08-16 Thread DSinc

Bryan/Bobby,
I suspect that I am learning an expanded version of "YMMV."  Many years 
ago this was read (by me!) as an admonition of (Dude! You have something 
dorked up-Please look elsewhere!!)

I have lived with YMMV this way since.

I accept that none of this collective have mirrored systems. I do recall 
a time when this was very close to true.  Sadly,  Intel and AMD changed 
this . Such is life.  I truck on with my, perhaps, dorked up machines. I 
accept,  "3MV."


No harm, no foul.  Fun I am still having. Forward I move (within 
reason?) !  LOL!

Thanks,
Duncan

before, and installed it on my clients whether needed or not. Yes, I

My new build client would not move dot-net forward from the initial
[optional] v1.1 install. The client would fail and/or crash trying to
install the v1.1 sp1 patch also. Odd.
But, I suspect that MS wished me to be somewhere else. Humorous how

Most confusing to me during this fal-der-al, this XP client was never

I deleted the original v1.1 install of dot-net on the client. This

No matter any longer.

The new rebuilt client is built, fully patched and using V4 dot-net.
Now I can complete burn-in and future integration.
