From: Hank Arnold on 28 Jan 2010 03:50 I ran into this posting on Aaron Stebner's Blob today. It caught my eye since I use TurboTax 2009. I haven't run into this problem myself, but with the number of folks out there who <strong>DO</strong>, I thought it might be helpful... http://blogs.msdn.com/astebner/archive/2010/01/26/9953883.aspx Apparently, TT09 has some sort of verification tool to check that the correct version of .NET Framework is installed. It needs 3.5 SP1. It seems that in some cases, it reports the problem and suggests re-installing SP1. Sometimes this doesn't work. Aaron's article gives a very nice description of what to do for various operating systems in the event this happens. -- Regards, Hank Arnold Microsoft MVP Windows Server - Directory Services http://it.toolbox.com/blogs/personal-pc-assistant/

Haven't had any TTax problems, but have seen numerous user problems where getting the proper .NET set up was a PITA. I don't think MS did a good job of integrating .NET into the OS (at least XP but I don't think vista/w7 is any better). Maybe this is a side effect from some of the anti-trust stuff that forces unbundling of OS features, but it is hard for users to authoritatively determine that .NET is properly installed on their system. The same goes for certain other OS features like MSXML. scott s. ..

It would be nice to delete the older versions - but who knows what apps would break :( > .

Later versions do not replace earlier versions. -- CSM1 http://www.carlmcmillan.com
