Windows 10: Bitmeter2 .net runtime library is not installed, do you want to instal

Bitmeter2 installation:
When trying to install bitmeter2 I get this error message:

.net runtime library is not installed, do you want to install it?

If I say YES it directs me to a website that gives me an error message. So I go directly to Microsoft .net download site and it tells me that .net is already installed. If I say NO it aborts installation.

I have Bitmeter running on other Windows 10 computers but they were upgrades and this is a clean install.



(Only use codebox.net/ to download, others may contain crapware.)

.NET runtime and the web of insanity

Thanks for the update, Don. Regarding the .NET Framework and .NET Runtime, the .NET Framework consists of the common language runtime (CLR) and the .NET Framework class library. The common language runtime is the foundation of the .NET Framework. For further
information regarding this, kindly check the articles below:

Overview of the .NET Framework

Common Language Runtime (CLR)

Whether you need any of them or not depends on what you're running. Some applications out there are still built for older .NET versions. Installing the most recent version is recommended, for you to check if your application will work with it.

If you have further questions and or encounter any errors, it is better suited for the IT Pro audience on MSDN. Please post your concern through this
link.

Regards.

 

Partially solved. I screwed up and downloaded some PUP/crapware (Instant Support) when downloading Firefox. The only good thing about that was it said I had an app that needed additional files. It then proceeded to download the files which happened to be older Microsoft .net Framework files. Apparently Bitmeter looks for specific older .net files (2.0 maybe). It works when it finds those files.

Could someone help me find those files and tell me where to put them?

 

When setting up another computer I dug into this some more and found the answer, for anyone who might be wanting to run Bitmeter2. I uncheck Float and place it in the lower right corner of my desktop, and set transparency to 70%.

The problem with running the setup was that in windows 10 .net framework does not load v1.1. Bitmeter2 requires it.

The solution is to search for: dotnetfx v1.1 which takes you to;

Download Microsoft .NET Framework Version 1.1 Redistributable Package from Official Microsoft Download Center

Download it and install, reboot and run the bitmeter2 setup.
