+Warwagon MVC Posted October 25, 2011 MVC Share Posted October 25, 2011 The time it takes to reinstall windows Vista due to all the dotnet framework updates is pathetic. Yes I know dotnet compiles itself or something, but seriously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cork1958 Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 +1 and Amen!! My wish is that I could get rid of this useless junk!! Never once had it installed in XP and never used Vista, but any and all updates to it in Windows 7 absolutely sucks green donkey d**k!! Still have no use for it either.

spartyjohnson Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 I think there are bigger problem in Vista than the .net framework. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolfbane Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 7 too What's wrong with just leaving it while it installs? If you need to do bulk installs, just set up a clean updated installation and clone it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are correct and to bad one clone doesn't work for multiple configurations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerowen Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 Windows Updates in general take a ridiculous amount of time. I'm not an expert on the behind-the-scenes of what takes place when Windows installs new versions of software, but it is apparently much more complicated than just downloading the appropriate archive and replacing the existing files with new versions.

Dermot Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 Windows 7 has .net 3.0 built in, as for you needing 1.0, 2.0, that's the old apps target framework forcing you to need it not windows. 3.5,3.5 sp1, 4.0 would be the ones classed as updates. frameworks get updated like most things, you just gotta look at why you're still using vista.

ajua Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 In the past 6 or so months there have been tons of .NET Framework updates, including 3.5 and 4.0 on Windows 7. I just wish Microsoft had a way for us to streamline those installs. I personally would love to integrate all the small updates and have one installer for 3.5, one for 4.0 and son on...
