I have an application written in C# and built using Visual Studio 2005 on winXP. It is working fine on winXP. If i try to run it on win7, I am getting an error called ".NET Framework Initialization Error." "Unable to find a version of the run time to run this application." Application target framework is .Net 2.0. How can i make it run on win7 ?
Try going to the files properties and go to compatibility then click on run in compatibility mode and then click on windows xp. this should fix the problem.
here's a screenshot to help. Ignore the fact that the options are blanked out they shouldn't be on yours.
try to Remove the .Net framework from your computer and then install .Net framework components through Windows Update .

I've developed app in VS2015 which needs to run on target computers that have Windows XP, NET 3.5. The release and debug versions of the application work without any problems on those computers.
I then made a Setup Project to be able to install the application on target computers and I did so that it requests no additional requirements. I ran the installer on my lap top which is Windows 7 and it works fine but on those target computers I get a message when i try to install the app:
"The installer was interrupted before 'App Name' could be installed.You need to restart the installer to try again."
I tried to find out what is the problem but without a success. I read that it could be problem that I am trying to install an application that was developed in VS2015 and that I need older version, but I couldn't understand why or what to do to make it work. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
EDIT1: I've checked and XP computers do have 3.5 NET installed. I also checked the event viewer and error I receive is: "Installation success or error status: 1603"
I've tried the resolutions that Microsoft suggests for this error, but didn't succeed.
EDIT2: I've checked permissions for the installation everything is as should, but still getting the error.
Since I start application from Debug and Release folder directly and it works perfectly, I am sure the problem is in the installer. Any help?
I have problem. When I build my C# .NET 4.5 project, I get this result from a custom build-task:
The command ""C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\Contracts\Bin\ccrefgen.exe" "#obj\Debug\DataStructuresccrefgen.rsp"" exited with code -2146233082.
But it isn't a problem of Microsoft Code Contracts, since it has worked before for weeks without any strange errors. Additionally, "PowerShellTools Host Service" crashes at start of Visual Studio. Also, "vshost32.exe" crashes sometimes.
I already repaired Visual Studio and rebooted my PC, but that doesn't solve the issue.
I did some research on the issue and from Google I got only some comparable results who point to a Microsoft Hotfix that applies to .NET 3.5, but nothing that applies to .NET 4.5.
Does someone has a suggestion?
Well, I fixed it. As it turned out, I should not have installed .NET 4.6 preview on my Windows 7 workstation (https://www.microsoft.com/nl-nl/download/details.aspx?id=44928).
Then, I tried to enable "RyuJIT" with the register key HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\.NETFramework\AltJit
The only effect of enabling RyuJIT on Widnows 7 was that it started to destroy many (but not all) .NET assemblies at runtime
Removing .NET 4.6 Preview and the HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\.NETFramework\AltJit key from the Windows Register solved the issue.
I have created a windows forms application using C#.net 4.0 on Visual studio 2012.
App works great on windows 8 and windows 7 but when I try to run the same app on Windows XP I get following error message.
Following are the prerequisites for my app:
1. .net Framework 4.0
2. Windows Installer 4.5
3. ReportViewer 2010
4. MYSQL DB 5.6
5. Visual Basic PowerPack 10
I have installed all these pre-requistes on Windows XP. My 1 click setup installs the application correctly but on application Start up I am receiving error.
I also tried upgrading visual studio 2012 and then rebuilding and publishing the app but still the same error persists.
Following is the screen shot from the Application Event logger

Can anyone suggest me what could be the issue.
If your program icon (or possibly any icons used by your program) has any images that are larger than 64x64 pixels, you can get this error on XP (in System.Drawing).
Check all your icon files and ensure that none contain images larger than 64x64
You Need Service pack 3 for XP and check the EXE build whether it might build for X64 and also check your XP machine is having .Netframework 4.0 change that into AnyCpu and once again build
the EXE and check with XP. and change your framework as .NetFramework 4.0
Are you targeting Mixed Platforms/Any CPU/x86? Can you try different build configurations?
Are you referencing any third party DLL's?
Can you catch and log details of the exception, or does the program fail to execute entirely?
I've had strange issues before when compiling for Mixed/Any CPU, and x86 machines throw a wobbler if the program isn't specifically targetted to x86.
I have a .NET 3.5 (C#) application, but interestingly it does not run on Windows XP. I have checked .NET Framework 2.0 SP2, 3.0 SP2, 3.5 SP1 are installed. When I run the application, no error message pops up. It just does not run. What could I try out?
this is may be because you have build this application on 64 bit machine please try to compile it over 32 bit machine and re run
You could install WinDbg (it has the advantage of being quite light, not too invasive, not like a full Visual Studio install), and run your .EXE from its console. WinDbg will break on the first exception. You will be then able to dig out further using something like SOS (WinDbg extension for managed .NET programs).
If your application requires the full ".Net Framework 3.5" make sure so it isn't the ".Net Framework 3.5 Client Profile" that is installed.
This have fooled me more than once...
Check if you have "appname.exe.config" file next to your app, or, in some cases, it have helped moving app in different drive/folder.
Folder path containing some language specific symbols might allso cause some compatability issues or runtime errors on some systems.
Have you copied all necessary DLL files with the EXE file? Except those already included in the .NET framework, of course.
If so, you should check the event log to see If you can find any hints. You can also use the PDB files in a test period bexcause this will provide more info to the exception and event log.
Is there a wait time between when you can run/install programs made in Microsoft's VISUAL C# 2010 EXPRESS and when they would work without errors?
I just installed it on a machine running Microsoft XP and when I installed my program, it didn't run correctly. I checked back on my computer, and it ran fine. Someone mentioned something to me once about needing to wait.???
Is this true?
If so, why?
I think a new install of the Fx requires a restart.
