Update.exe - .NET Framework Initilization Error

Some people seem to be getting this issue with the updater. My application uses .NET 4.0 with the WPF updater.

When updating, they get this error message:

`Update.exe - .NET Framework Initilization Error`"Unable to find a version of the runtime to run this application."

.NET 4.0 is installed. Are there any other requirements?

This error is likely due to the fact that the customer doesn't have .NET 2.0 installed and you're using wyUpdate for .NET 2.0.

Since your app is a .NET 4.0 application make sure you're using the .NET 4.0 version of wyUpdate; see: Requirements for wyUpdate.

Does that make sense?

Yeah.

Will I need to rebuild the wyUpdate.exe or can I just upload a new patch?

You need to change the setting to .NET 4.0 in your wyBuild project's properties, press OK, then click Build wyUpdate. This will output the .NET 4.0 version of wyUpdate.

You can just include this new wyUpdate.exe and client.wyc files in your next installer. As far as delivering this file to your new users you have a couple of options. Either tell the users to install .NET 2.0. Or manually send them this .NET 4.0 version of wyUpdate.

Alright, thanks.
