BOINC knows nothing about the .NET framework and shouldn't be bothered with it one way or the other.
Are you sure that BOINC Manager was actually shut down between attempts? A few builds ago some code was added bring an existing instance of BOINC Manager to the foreground. That change still trips me up when I'm debugging. ----- Rom -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Jamie Tiller Sent: Wednesday, January 05, 2011 6:44 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [boinc_dev] .Net Framework 4 Hi All, Just a quick query on Boinc compatibility with .Net Framework 4. Just had to re-install Windows 7 x64 and before installing Boinc 6.12.8 ran all the MS updates - including the .Net Framework 3.5 (SP's and security patches) and the .Net Framework 4 Client Profile (and security patch). Then installed Boinc, the installer ran through fine with no error's, but when trying to launch Boinc got an error saying that Boinc needed a reboot before it could launch. Rebooted the machine, still got the same error on launching Boinc. Checked the install directory for Boinc (C:\Program Files\Boinc) and indeed there was a 'RebootRequired' file there, deleted this file tried to launch Boinc - same error message Un-installed Boinc - rebooted and re-installed - still getting the same error. Un-installed .Net Framework 4 rebooted and re-installed Boinc - Boinc now runs fine - re-installed .Net Framework 4 and Boinc will still luanch correctly. Issue is that as most people will run the updates as i did before installing any other applications this will prove to be a show stopper for Boinc as it get's itself stuck in loop asking for a reboot that will never prove to be helpfull whilst the .Net 4 Framework is still installed.
