There are some crippled version of the .Net 4 framework out there that won't
work.
I don't know how you've implemented your WW stuff (I'm using 6.x of Rick's WW
Client Tools) but I was also running into issues where the framework wasn't
present. I use it for SMTP and FTP. One thing I changed relatively recently,
based on Rick's recommendation, was to load the framework on application
startup. Previously I was invoking it when firing up an email object or ftp
form. According to Rick, the instance of the framework object is scoped to the
application so any attempts to create another one will just refer back to the
original instance. Also, based on his samples I added this to my app startup:
TRY
LOCAL m.loBridge AS [wwDotnetBridge]
DO wwDotnetBridge
m.loBridge=CREATEOBJECT([wwDotnetBridge],[V4])
CATCH TO m.loError40
TRY
m.loBridge=CREATEOBJECT([wwDotnetBridge],[V2])
CATCH TO m.loError20
FINALLY
ENDTRY
FINALLY
IF VARTYPE(m.loError40)<>[O] AND VARTYPE(m.loError20)<>[O]
DEBUGOUT m.loBridge.GetDotnetVersion()
ELSE
IF _vfp.StartMode=0
MESSAGEBOX([dotnet CLR
error],MB_OK+MB_ICONEXCLAMATION,[My Really Cool VFP Application])
ENDIF
ENDIF
RELEASE m.loBridge
ENDTRY
So now when that XP or other ancient version of Windows runs my app, the user
gets a little message. Obscure to them but I know right away that they need to
install the full version of the framework.

Client tells me they've had DotNet runtimes version v4.0.30319 since
August on that server. They can't go beyond that. (Why, I don't know.)
