"dotnet is not installed" error

[Frejoh466]

I'm having an "There are potential problems with your setup" message,

dotNet is not installed or outdated. dotNet is not installed or the wrong version. This is required to use NCC. Get it from here: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=17851

I did use the guide, uninstalled .Net with the tool, downloaded and installed 4.0 didn't work, then I tried the latest version 4.5.1, did not work(anti-virus was disabled during the time). It's on Win7(could not use Create System Specs, becuse it "is limited to users in the group: Users.") Mod Orginizer is up to date. And I'm using it for Skyrim.

Hmmm... everything except the one registry dword is there. I'm going to instruct you to manually add that dword. It will remove the error from MO, but if running the NCC installer fails for whatever reason, than there's got to more to it.

 

1. Right-click on v3.5

2. Choose New > DWORD (32-bit) value

3. Name it

Install

4. Double-click your new Install DWORD and change the Value data to

1

5. Click OK

6. Restart Mod Organizer and attempt to install SkyUI. If the installer fails/works/whatever, report back.

Try the link I use on the wiki: https://wiki.step-project.com/Guide:Mod_Organizer#tab=Installation

I did read the "Guide:Mod Organizer" and did download the .Net from Microsoft home page("dotNetFx40_Full_setup.exe" and "NDP451-KB2859818-Web.exe"(I did use the link on the wiki)). I also uninstalled the .Net with add/remove programs and used a ".NET Framework cleanup tool".

Did you restart your computer before trying again? Sometimes settings like that need a restart. And make sure it is updated via Windows Update.

[Frejoh466]

Computer is restarted and Windows is updated.

• Press Winkey+R
• Type regedit
• Hit enter
• Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREWow6432NodeMicrosoft.NETFramework
• Post a screenshot, expanding the v4.0.30319 one if possible.

I forgot to look at the Mod Organizer sourcecode for the identification mechanism of dotNet, so I directed you to the wrong registry location. In doing so, I discovered that it looks like it is actually seems  to be looking for version 3.5, even though it is linking to version 4. I know it requires 4, so I wonder if the warning message isn't outdated.

 

So go install version 3.5 (I think the link is here https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=21) and see if that doesn't fix it.

that check tests for dotNet 3.5.

I'm not sure why the link leads to a dotNet 4.0 installer but this is the first (in well over a year) I hear this is wrong. :(

The "dotNetFx35setup.exe" refuse to install, when I click it nothing happens. Tried to restart computer, run as admin, run it in safe mode. After a google search I got this

Newer operating systems (Windows 7+ afaik) do not (cannot) use installation files for the .NET 3.5 framework. Also, the 3.5 framework does not necessarily show in add/remove programs. Instead, you "turn on" the feature. Another detail is that Windows 3.5 includes 3.0 and 2.0 frameworks. In other words, .NET framework 3.0 and 2.0 do not require separate installs.

I am using Win7 x64 so it is already installed on my OS, and thats why I can not install it(and it is activated). Edited August 15, 2014 by Frejoh466

@Tannin Doesn't the portion of Nexus Mod Manager we use require .Net 4? I was pretty sure when compiling it that it required 4. If it indeed needs .Net 3.5 to work, than I need to change that on the wiki guide as well.

 

@Frejoh466

Actually, Skyrim includes the .NET 3.5 redistributable when you install it on Steam, so how you do not have it is beyond me. At any rate, navigate to your Skyrim folder and locate the DotNetFX folder. Inside there is the dotnetfx35setup.exe. Make sure you run it as administrator.

[Frejoh466]

It still refuses to run. And from what I read from google, I'm not going to be able to install it, due to the fact that it comes with Win 7 and should already be installed.

[DoubleYou]

Been awhile since I was on Windows 7. You might need to turn it on by going to Control Panel > Programs and Features > Turn Features On and Off > .NET framework 3.5.

[Frejoh466]

It's on, only turned on non-http. Restarted computer, same error.

[DoubleYou]

For me I have it on with neither of the http options checked.

What does HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREWow6432NodeMicrosoftNET Framework SetupNDPv3.5 look like in your registry?
