Hi Guys,<br />
<br />
We have a 2003 Std with .Net 2.0 SP1 installed (other versions of .Net present also).<br />
<br />
Quickbooks installed on this machine is flipping out with errors and crashing. Research is saying that our .Net 2.0 needs to be re-installed and there is the problem. When I go to Add/Remove, .NET 2.0 is listed, but there is no button next to it to Change or Remove. <br />
<br />
I have tried to install .Net 2.0 over the top of itself and got an error that this version is older than installed version. I then got SP1 update hoping that re-running it would fix it - no luck; it too errored out stating that it already exists and that I need to uninstall via Add/Remove Programs.<br />
<br />
Now what?

.Net Framework 2.0 is corrupt and wont un-install

The .NET Framework is not specific to any one programming language; rather, it includes a library of functions that allows developers to rapidly build applications. Several supported languages include C#, VB.NET, C++ or ASP.NET.

.NET Programming

Windows Server 2003 was based on Windows XP and was released in four editions: Web, Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter. It also had derivative versions for clusters, storage and Microsoft’s Small Business Server. Important upgrades included integrating Internet Information Services (IIS), improvements to Active Directory (AD) and Group Policy (GP), and the migration to Automated System Recovery (ASR).
