Applies to
All ApexSQL products
Summary
This article explains how to solve the issue when a .NET Framework initialization error occurs
Symptoms
I receive a .NET exception on startup:
"To run this application, you must first install one of the following versions of the .NET Framework:
v2.0.50727
Contact your application publisher for instructions about obtaining the appropriate version of the .NET Framework."
Cause
Almost all ApexSQL products require the .NET 2.0 run-time library. The above message is shown when the .NET 1.1 run-time library is installed.
Resolution
Install the .NET 2.0 run-time library
Don’t uninstall the .NET 1.1 library, so this installation doesn’t affect the existing applications. Also, check the product system requirements
