I'm positive this error has to do with .NET installing strangely or something, but here's the error message.
I've got .NET framework installed up to version 3.0 and it still asks me to install it through the METAbolt installer.

Code:
---------------------------
METABolt has encountered an unrecovarable error
---------------------------
Message: Could not load file or assembly 'System.Core, Version=3.5.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified., From: ExceptionReporter.WinForms, Stack:    at ExceptionReporting.ViewResolver.Resolve[T]()

   at ExceptionReporting.ViewFactory.Create[T](ViewResolver viewResolver)

   at ExceptionReporting.ExceptionReporter..ctor()

   at METAbolt.METAboltInstance..ctor(Boolean firstInstance)

   at METAbolt.Program.Main(String[] args)
---------------------------
Retry   Cancel   
---------------------------


EDIT:

I see that it requires 3.5 to run, and when trying to install, it's periodically failed to actually, well, install the latest .NET framework.

HI Venndiagram,

Yes this is a .NET/Windows issue. I recommend removing .NET 3.0 and .NET 3.5 (if it exists in anyway). Remove METAbolt (delete the METAbolt folder under c:\program files too). Reboot the machine. Do Microsoft updates then install .NET 3.5. Do not install .NET 3.0 unless there is an application that is using it. Then install METAbolt and see what happens.


Let me know pls.

Thx

It suddenly occured to me...what Windows version are you using? .NET 3.5 can only be installed on Windows XP and above...

hi luke! :)
maybe you can help me too?
i have windows vista and had metabolt before like half a year ago. i tried to reinstall it now but .. can't.
so i downloaded the .net framework (after deleting it and all of metabolt tries) and then the download binary (64 bit).
when i try to install it with the setup it says it can't be installed on Windows NT/2k/XP/Vista etc.
thank you in advance!

Hi Paula,

Very unusual for Vista! Have you tried installing the 32 bit version? If not, remove the METAbolt you have (if any) the delete the METAbolt folder under c:\program files\ then download and install the 32 bit version.

Let me know what happens.

Thx
