FLScan / .NET
-
Thx for the replies! My apologies for not responding sooner. Other things on my mind.
How can I find out what version of .NET is on my comp now? I read on Wiki that 3.5 supposedly comes with Win7.
In fact, I find it weird that FLScan runs without problems on my one laptop, but not on the other (both Win7; the one that works Home 64bits, the one that doesn’t -a netbook- Starter)
Comatibility issues, codecs etc. are the curses of our time. Bad as they are, I prefer them over leprosy and bubonic plague though
Oh, I use FL Error Checker too, but want FLScan for a quick and fast scan. I think the two proggies are both useful, and using the one doesn’t eliminate the use for the other.

Install .NET 3.5 for x86. FLScan is a 32-bit program, you have the 64-bit .NET framework installed. Can’t see any other reason.

It’s my (32 bit) netbook I’m having trouble with (being that it tells me it needs .NET framework). How can I find what .NET version, if any, is installed on it? (I haven’t installed anything .NET, but according to Wiki, 3.5 is supposedly comes with Win7)

Uhm… That’s rather strange.
Try downloading .NET 2.0 then. I can’t recall whether 3.5 includes 2.0.

Dont use flscan myself but presumably it was comiled with a microbloat visual programming env…
That means you need the appropriate 300-500kb runtime dll, these are contained in the .net installers.
Idea was that DEVELOPERS would install a .net pack, write their apps, then take advantage of the redistribution licence built in to .net to package the 300-500kb dll with their app.
Most dont, they just a) include the whole ,net installer, or b) tell you that you need .net version such and such…
1.1 - 25mb
2.0 - 50mb
3.0 - Does not exist, dotnet3.exe is just 1.1 and 2 bundled back to backl in a single 75mb installer, for xp based systems, most versions of 3 require xp with sp2 installed (250 mb)Not sure if win-7 actually passes the xp-sp2 test, soooo 3.5, a win7-32 bit version.
Your snazzy 64 bit machine works cos it includes the .net
Your new 32 bit doesnt because its a lower grade of win-7 (starter) and microbloat classify .net as a non essential luxury addon.
As friendlyfire suggested, get the 32bit version of 3.5, if that doesnt work, see if you can find a win-7 compatible version of dotnet3.exe, as that contains 1.1 and 2.0 (file size should be about 75mb)
You can install multiple ‘versions’ as long as you install em in order.

Aaaaarghhh this is weird and luckily so!!!
Just found out I cannot install FLScan 1.3, but when I just copy an existing install to the netbook, it works fine.
So that’s probably the reason it does work on this laptop. The program itself isn’t the problem; the installer is

Does anybody have the source for FLScan? It’d be nice to update it.Afraid only Rob will have - did he leave his email with the application on the install? I can’t remember, I have his email somewhere, but I’ve not heard from him at all in 3 years or more and am unsure if it’d still work if I searched around to find it :S
Honestly, it shouldn’t be too hard to re-program an FLScan equivalent, just time consuming. The bit about repairing thn files isn’t something I’d have a clue about though, so I’m unsure.
I started programming one a few years back, but I wiped my computer about 3 months ago and forgot to keep any source code from various projects (which included a java version of FLMM - minus the string generation for dlls! ).
