Using Visual Studio 2022 and building a .Net Framework 4.8 application. It works perfectly on the VS runtime and through the EXE file that is generated inside the bin/Debug folder on my machine. It also works on other Windows 10 machines that has Visual Studio 2022 installed.
However, other windows 10 machines which has .Net Framewordk 4.8 installed but doesn't has Visual Studio 2022 installed, the EXE is not opening on these machines. Neither does it gives any error or message. There is absolutely nothing in the System Events to debug, and the process is getting exited with Exit Code 0.
Is anyone else facing the same?
PS- Not facing this issue with .Net Framework 4.6.1

A Windows update trashed my computer so I've had to reinstall from scratch.
We have some projects that multi-target net40
<TargetFrameworks>net40;net6.0</TargetFrameworks>
which were building just fine (and they build in the Azure pipeline) but now I can't get them to build locally.
My old machine was originally win10 with VisualStudio 2017, 2019, and 2022, but so far on the rebuilt machine I only have 2022.
The projects won't build, saying
error MSB3644: The reference assemblies for .NETFramework,Version=v4.0 were not found. To resolve this, install the Developer Pack (SDK/Targeting Pack) for this framework version or retarget your application. You can download .NET Framework Developer Packs at https://aka.ms/msbuild/developerpacks
I guess this means I have to install an SDK pack?
I've tried 4.6.2 and 4.6.1 which are available through the VisualStudio installer, and 4.5 (NDP452-KB2901951-x86-x64-DevPack.exe from https://dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/download/dotnet-framework/thank-you/net452-developer-pack-offline-installer) which is not, and Windows SDK for Windows 7 and .NET Framework 4 from https://developer.microsoft.com/en-gb/windows/downloads/sdk-archive/
but still no joy.
Any idea what I need to do to get it to build again?
The solution seems to be to install VisualStudio2017 with net40.
Built a UMCA 6.0 APP on Laptop 1 with platform target set to x64 and framework target set to .Net Framework 4.8. Laptop 1 is X64 based CPU running Windows 10 Enterprise. Application runs as designed.
Copied the executable and DLLs to Laptop 2, where UCMA runtime and .NetFramework 4.8 were installed. The process also required installing Visual C++ 2015-2019 redistribution. Got the infamous SIPEPS error message.
Copied the project directory (source code, project file, etc.) to Laptop 2 and rebuilt the app after doing a clean. Confirmed project properties included X64 and .Net Framework 4.8. Build was successful 1st time. Ran the app and still getting the SIPEPS error message.
Both laptops are Dells with i7 cores. Using VS 2017 for build. Need to have a backup machine for this app. If the primary fails - we are dead in the water.
You must uninstall all Visual C++ releases greater than 2013 before UCMA 6.0 will properly install. I also did a repair of .Net Framework 4.8. Installed UCMA 6.0 before anything else and that seems to have addressed this particular issue.
Now its on to a new issue: "Recorder cannot start due to I/O Error."
I create a project as per the screenshots and the following error appears when I try to Build or Run.
Error MSB3644 The reference assemblies for .NETFramework,Version=v5.0 were not found. To resolve this, install the Developer Pack (SDK/Targeting Pack) for this framework version or retarget your application. You can download .NET Framework Developer Packs at https://aka.ms/msbuild/developerpacks WebApplication1 C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\Professional\MSBuild\Current\Bin\Microsoft.Common.CurrentVersion.targets 1177
Below is my about screen, shouldn't show with Net Version 5.0 as opposed to Version 4.8.03752?
If I visit the following link:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/framework/install/guide-for-developers
It states that my NET version was part of my Visual Studio 2019 (16.3 update)
.NET 5 is actually .NET Core 5 and replaces .NET 4.x. New development continues on the .NET Core line only. .NET Old will only get fixes from now on. That's why you won't see any .NET Old versions beyond 4.8 in Visual Studio.
.NET 5 is supported in the latest Visual Studio version, 16.8. You need to upgrade to the latest version. The final of both .NET 5 and Visual Studio 16.8 were released yesterday during dotNETConf 2020. You can find the first day's sessions in .NET's YouTube channel.
The sessions explain what .NET 5 is, what's new, how to port existing applications from .NET Framework 4.x to .NET 5 including desktop applications like Windows Forms and WPF applications.
Some early .NET 5 previews were supported in 16.7 but the latest previews and RC versions were only supported on 16.8
I am getting a few errors trying to download the new VS2012. Its a fresh install of windows 8 (did the windows update). I have tried not selecting all (no C++, lightswitch, blend, office tools)
I tried different mounting tools for the .ISO but no luck. VS2010 is still working. Running x86. Log file
Errors:
Critical: Microsoft Visual C++ 2012 x86 Minimum Runtime - 11.0.507 Cannot find the requested object.
Microsoft Visual Studio 2012 Pre-Clean Tool Cannot find the requested object
Microsoft Visual C++ 2012 x86 Additional Runtime - 11.0.507 Cannot find the requested object.
Microsoft Visual C++ 2012 Core Libraries, Team Foundation Server 2012, Microsoft Framework 4.5 Multi-Targeting pack.... and a few other ones cannot be found. Thanks!
Downloaded the web installer, and that seemed to work. It seems that the iso was corrupted as the MD5 did not match.
I just installed VS 2012 Ultimate RTM on Windows 8 Pro RTM and tried to open a solution containing several projects (class libraries and WinForms) targeting .NET 4.0.
When the solution is loaded, VS prompts that .NET 4.0 isn't supported. It gives me the chance to update my projects to 4.5 (and promises that I could change the target later) or install a "Multi targeting pack" for 4.0 from this page.
I decided to update my projects to 4.5 because I had no luck installing the offered Multi targeting pack (errors see below).
Unfortunately, VS does not show 4.0 as a target by default (when changing the target for an updated project), but redirects me to the page where I can download the Multi targeting pack.
So far so good, but I wasn't able to install any of the offered downloads (neither runtime nor targeting pack) again.
The error message says in case of .NET Framework 4.0.3 Targeting Pack:
Setup has detected that this computer does not meet the requirements to install this software. The following blocking issues must be resolved before you can install KB2600213 software package.
Installation Requirements:
Microsoft .NET Framework 4 Multi-Targeting Pack was not found. Please repair your installation for Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 in order to get this update.
Strange enough since I have no VS2010 installed.
.NET Framework 4.0.3 Runtime Installation stops with the following error:
KB2600211 does not apply, or is blocked by another condition on your computer.
I've checked that .NET 4.0 is installed (using the .NET Installation verification tool), I've tried to repair VS2012 but nothing let me target .NET 4 and the Event log does not contain any related reports. Any suggestions or hints (besides going back to Win7/VS2010)?
I'm honestly not sure what's going on. I have VS 2012 Ultimate RTM and all versions of .NET are supported.
I'm almost positive I never installed any .NET frameworks manually, though I did install Visual Studio 2010 Express for Windows Phone from http://create.msdn.com.
