485132 2006-09-16 10:36:00 I've got an application that requires .NET runtime to run. I evidently don't have it. What exactly is this, and does it have any other affects on my sytem?

Running Win XP Pro SP1.

Thanks.

485133 2006-09-16 12:06:00 You need to download Microsoft's .Net platform. The easiest way to get this is through Windows Update. Visit update.microsoft.com using the Internet Explorer browser (it uses ActiveX components) and select the .Net 2 runtime (probably in the optional section). TGoddard (7263)

But anyway, I couldn't care now; I found an alternative that doesn't require it.

485138 2006-09-16 22:38:00 .Net has no other effects on your system. It supports the .Net languages such as C# and VB.Net in the same way that the Java Runtime Environment supports Java. TGoddard (7263)

Nope - alternative programme that doesn't require .Net Runtime.
