.NET 2.0 was never released for Vista (which came with .NET 3.0). This is why you're unable to install .NET 2.0 SP1 on Vista. Furthermore, there was never a .NET 3.0 SP1 release for Vista...only .NET 3.5 which includes the .NET 2.0 SP1 changes and you can download this from here - http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=333325FD-AE52-4E35-B531-508D977D32A6&displaylang=en. The minimum .NET version for Vista/Server 2008 is .NET 3.5 to run IronPython 2.0 (or 2.6 for that matter).

To be sure, I just downloaded the x64 .net 2.0 Sp1 installer again, ran it and here is the reason it errors: "This product is not supported on Vista Operating System". There you have it. I'm grabbing the x86 sp1 and going to see if that one works.

I am on Vista, though, and so I think my problem is that while I installed 2.0, I cannot instal SP1. The server my code will run on is still on 2.0 until the new system is rolled out, which may be 6 months from now. I built all my IPy libs for 2.0, but when I added a C# project to wrap the embedded program and targetted 2.0 all the assemblies say they require 3.5. If I add them anyway, the Microsoft scripting assemblies can't be found. No such errors or warning about the IronPython assemblies, although I'm back to 'Python does not exist in the current context', even though I've got the assemblies loaded and using IronPython.Hosting. After trudging through this weirdness for a bit now, I'm realizing that the issue most likely comes from running a x64 version of Vista, while IronPython is in the x86 program files. IronPython is pure .NET code. It is independent of 32/64 bitness. It may be that to get .NET 2 SP1 on vista you actually need to install .NET 3.5? Seems odd though. Michael I'm going to bulid IronPython from source for 2.0 and see if that fixes the problem.

The versions of the .NET Framework differ from each other in the list of assemblies that each makes available for you to reference in your projects. For example, LINQ is a new technology that is included in Visual Studio 2008. .NET Framework 3.5 is the only version of the .NET Framework that has LINQ-related assemblies. Therefore, you cannot use LINQ unless your project specifically targets .NET Framework 3.5. Similarly, Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) is included in Windows Vista. You cannot build WPF applications unless your project targets .NET Framework 3.0 and later versions of the .NET Framework." In addition, .Net 3.0 changed the compiler to add support for lambdas in C#, although the resulting code can still run on .Net 2.0 runtime. The lambdas are converted to anonymous functions by the compiler. There may be other "syntactic sugar" changes as well. In Visual Studio, when you select the target runtime, you are primarily telling Visual Studio (and the underlying .Net compiler tools) to filter out elements from later versions of .Net. Of course, if you include a reference to a .Net 3.5 assembly, you have to make sure .Net 3.5 is installed on the target system. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> <mailto:[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> [mailto:[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> <mailto:[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>>] On Behalf Of Michael Foord Sent: Thursday, June 18, 2009 4:49 AM To: Discussion of IronPython Subject: Re: [IronPython] clarification on current state of embedding Justin Regele wrote: > This brings up another question I've encountered.
