FARR problem with .NET 4.0
« on: July 07, 2010, 09:11 PM »
Hi,

I have Windows 7 x64 Home Premium. Few days ago "new" .NET framework 4.0.30319 was recommended on Windows Update, so I installed it. Now, every time FARR starts, it shows following message box:

"To run this application, you first must install one of the following versions of the .NET framework: v4.0.30319"?!?

That message box is always shown twice! Beside that, FARR seems to be working fine, except same thing happens when I configure plugins inside options dialog. Plugins used are: Akete, FarrSpell, FCalc, FARRSubScript and hamNotes. Message boxes are shown even all plugins are unchecked.

I'm running same FARR installation on second machine that has Windows XP SP3, fully patched, has .NET 4.0 and get no message boxes whatsoever.

Any ideas?

Like I said, it happens even if they are all turned off, but I'll try  ;). I just pressed "View Plugins Error Log" and this is from last few days:

Error initializing plugin do_init function
C:\iDrive\Apps\misc\FindAndRunRobot\Plugins\FARREnviormentVariables\FARREnviormentVariables.dll

which is interesting since that plugin is not in the list at all?!? Also, log file contain similar lines:

::: [ Starting Find and Run Robot v2.87.03 on Wednesday July 07, 2010 at 11:24 PM ] :::
*Loading plugin: FARREnviormentVariables\FARREnviormentVariables.dll
Failed.
*Loading plugin: FARREnviormentVariables\FARREnviormentVariablesRCW.dll
Failed.


Now, I removed folder "FARREnviormentVariables" and ... success! The only mystery to me now is why that plugin was loaded in the first place, it was not selected, it was not on the list of the plugins in the first place? Can I fixed it somehow?

I had to remove that plugin too, I have .NET 4 but I can't remember if I had problems with it before or not.
