I can't tell if you've got .NET installed. Perhaps you don't have .NET installed or perhaps your browser isn't letting me know. Consider visiting this site using Internet Explorer, which will tell me more about if your system has .NET on it or not. Alternatively, if you're running Windows, you can go download the 1 meg web installer for .NET Framework 4. The .NET installer is smart enough to look at your system and automatically download the smallest upgrade package possible. For you, it'll probably be 28 megabytes total. Also, you might make sure your system is setup to get updates from Windows Update automatically. This will make sure your system is up to date with the lastest stuff, including the latest .NET Framework." }-


has anybody seen this before?

His test works as expected. Using IE, it will tell you if you are up to date with .net.

The version I have is shown in the screenshot.

having been through a recent .net upgrade on two machines, the bootstrap or bootloader version can be used, which retreives only what is needed, which was roughly 30mb. If this version won't work, as I had a machine with this issue, the full redist is something like 200mb large. At that point I did not bother to check and see just how big it was extracted and isntalled, but 500mb doesn't sound too large for that sort of thing.

I would much rather the smaller version had worked, but that machine has plenty of space, so not a loss I suppose.
