Problem after reformatting computer

[Ernie]

Roy, I installed my hard drive, my Windows XP, and everything is like brand new...... Well, not exactly!! I downloaded a bunch of stuff, and everything worked.... Then! I went to download Hoster, and this came up again.....I get an error message, that Microsoft .Net Framework v2.0 is missing, and it can't operate without it. Where can I get it??? I did a new download on a new disc. Why is Net Framework v2.0 not there???? I'm really ticked! Before I get real upset and junk this thing, is there anywhere I can this Net Framework
v2.0? Right now I feel like this thing is kicking my butt and winning. Sorry to unload, but it's been a really long day. After I send this I'm going to bed.

Thanks for listening,
Ernie

Did you do all the windows updates as described when you purchased your version?
This can be a time consuming thing if re-installing older versions of XP.
These are the changes if installing the latest version on XP:

I would have thought it would have installed it automatically when doing the updates, but here is a link to the microsoft website for Net Framework v2.0.

I copied this from the XP windows update instructions, note that you must be using Windows Internet explorer for this.

IMPORTANT NOTE: You MUST ONLY use Windows Internet Explorer to do Windows Updates. You CANNOT USE: Firefox, Opera, Chrome, Netscape or any other Browser. To run IE, left click Start button > All Programs > Internet Explorer.
Windows XP Updates are found at http://update.microsoft.com

You MUST do the Windows Updates to run MTU Hoster 4.xx or higher. Many users who had weird problems say these disappeared after updating Windows.

1. When the page above appears, left click on the Custom button. Your computer will be scanned for what updates are not installed.
2. In the left column, select all items under Optional Software.
3. Left click on Install to start the installation.
4. Once the updates are installed, if you see a message to restart the computer, you must do this before continuing.
5. Then go through the same process again until it shows 0 items to be installed under Optional Software updates and Critical Updates.

You might also find this little video helpfull:

Roy, There is no custom button anywhere on the page.

Thanks,

Roy, No custom button, but when I watched the video a box opened, like the box that opened when I was on the site. The person clicked it and then I saw the Custom button. I had 82 things to download. After the download I still have the same problem trying to open any of the MTU products.

Thanks,
Ernie

Yes, they have altered it a bit, it does show that in the video.

When you first get on the update site, select" Check for updates", after a while you will see a result saying so many important updates & so many optional updates, if you select the important updates it should show you a list of them with tick boxes to select which to import, as Hoster instructions tell you to import all updates you should select them all. and the same for the optional updates, install all updates except hardware updates.
Now before you do this there is a selection on the left for" View update History", be worth looking in there first to see if it is showing" Net Framework v2.0" and if it is, does it show as failed status? If there is no sign of it in the list then when you look in the list of available updates see if you can see it listed there.

I recently restored my own computer and had to instal 144 updates. it took me all day.
So don't exspect it to be done in 5 mins.

Roy,
I downloaded net framework v2.0. Now when I try to open Hoster it comes up with...... Failed to load DLL: _ismtu
Shouldn't that be in Hoster? Should I reinstall Hoster?

Thanks Roy,
Ernie
