That icon in the top left reminds me of the dialogue you get when a Release build project throws an unhandled exception, but the icon is usually on the left and the program icon is not seen...
Where are you extracting the program to? Do you have full read/write access to its directory? (Try a subdirectory of My Documents - it stores project files in a subdirectory under the main executable, so will not run inside Program Files - this will be remedied).
Missing .NET runtimes just spew the usual missing DLL error message, so it does indeed look like .NET 2.0 is there - do other .NET 2.0 apps run?
Try this, if you will.
Go to the directory %windir%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727
(The version might be slightly different). Now, create a new file in Notepad, and paste in this code:
Code: Select all
using System;
using System.Windows.Forms;
public class Test {
public static void Main() {
MessageBox.Show("It lives!");
}
}
Save it into that .NET folder you should have open, then open a command prompt and enter:
...where test.txt is the file you just made. It'll spit out an executable. If you run that executable, it should pop up a message box.
