Locutus, while I don't read or speak German, I can clearly see what your problem is. It specifically mentions the version number of the .Net platform that you have - which means that .Net is at fault. And there have been tons of threads in the last week or so about this problem.

Basically, what's happened is that Micro$oft have released an update to the .Net platform. The latest version is 3.5 SP1 RTM. (RTM stands for Release To Manufacturing, basically it's stable enough for computer makers to stick it on new computers) A number of people have already downloaded this update.

Unfortunately, Micro$oft got it wrong for us - they broke compatibility. .Net 3.5 SP1 RTM is not compatible with .Net 3.5 SP1 Beta, and Supremacy therefore needs .Net 3.5 SP1 Beta. But this means that anyone with .Net 3.5 SP1 RTM has the "wrong" version of .Net. You can't go back to the Beta version either - Micro$oft in their infinite wisdom have removed the download from their site.

Mike is working on a fix to get it working again, but he's hit a snag - the computer he uses to create the updates suffered a registry corruption and he's had to reformat it. It's going to take him a few days to reinstall all of the programs that he needs to post the update. I spoke with him last night though, and he *MAY* email me the files that people need as a stand-alone zip file. IF he does that, I will make it available on the forums and will post a new item to make sure people know.

ah okay thank you i wait this days is no problem:-)

wrong subforum *moving*

We should make this a sticky so people do go on posting new threads about the .NET Framework error
