A Little Help Please

I wonder if I could get somebody who has Vista installed to give me a little help. I need somebody who doesn't feel uneasy about searching through the system folders on his machine. My request isn't dangerous (I'm not going to ask you to alter or hack anything), however some folks don't even feel comfortable about opening their Windows folder in an explorer window.

I'm rebuilding my installers (correcting a big mistake I made a long time ago and am too embarrassed to talk about) and I need  to know if the .Net Framework 2.0 is really resident in the Vista load as is suggested on some technical sites I've been using.

That is, I need to know if the following DLL files are installed on your machine.

   mfc70u.dll,  mfc70.dll, msvcp70.dll, msvcr70.dll

I don't know what the Vista folder heirarchy looks like, but if it hasn't changed then these files should be in your System32 folder.

Later, I may ask someone  to look for some registry entries for me. In the mean time we can take this off line if you like. My email addresses are jmccomb2@shaw.ca and Jmccomb@jcmc.ca.

Yours in Christ

John

    I have Windows Vista Home Premium SP2.

    I couldn't find either mfc70u.dll or mfc70.dll.

    I found msvcp70.dll in:
    C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office10\VS Runtime
    C:\Program Files\Common Files\Roxio Shared\10.0\Roxio Central36\Main

    I found msvcr70.dll in:
    C:\Program Files\Common Files\Roxio Shared\10.0\Roxio Central36\Main
    C:\Program Files\Common Files\SureThing Shared
    C:\Program Files\Roxio
    C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office10\VS Runtime

    Let me know if I can help more.

    Ooops. My blank lines don't show up when I do Quick Reply. Maybe it will work better this time.

    If all else fails put one or more characters

    LIKE THIS on the line and use white text. It will be there but wont show unless highlighted.  Like I just did at the beginning of this line.

    Then hit return and keep going.

    Ok. The problem was a compatibility issue with Google Chrome. I like the browser a lot, but every once in a while...

    All of your posts were perfectly legible as far as I'm concerned. Anyway, thanks again. I need to find out what Microsoft has to say about the 2.0 framework on Vista.  It sure doesn't look like they have an installer for it.

    Or maybe I just need to get somebody to install the app and see what happens.

    Yours in Christ

    O.K., I'll bet you can tell I'm very confused. I went through all this about four years ago and I can't remember how I got to where I got to but it looks like I got it right the first time. Those libraries all belong to Visual Studio and won't exist on machines that don't have VS installed  unless another app puts them there.

    All right, so that's not a problem (whew). Now all I need to figure out is how to deal with .Net Framework on Vista. I don't know if I need to check for it or not. Can somebody with Vista check to see if either of (or both of) the following two keys exist int their registry.

       HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\NET Framework Setup\NDP\v2.0.50727

       HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\.NETFramework\policy

    Thanks and God Bless

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\NET Framework Setup\NDP\v2.0.50727

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\.NETFramework\policy

    Both keys exist in Windows 7, which has now been released to OEM's (RTM) - but not yet public.

    Great. And on and on til death do us part. It's good to know that uncle Billy wants our home made tools to make like the Engergizer bunny.
