DPack 3.8.1 VS2013 incompatible with Framework 4.5.1

[milanchez]

Hello,

I'm unable to install the DPack v 3.8.1 in a new computer, it's a Windows 7 x64 machine with Visual Studio 2013 and Framework 4.5.1.

The setup does not recognize the new Framework and asks for the old one (unable to install the old one because "a newer version is already installed"). See the attachment.

Do you know any workaround for this problem?

Sorry it took me so long to reply. That's a .NET v4.5 related problem, which's been fixed a while back. I've been meaning to post an updated version so I wrapped it up over the weekend. Please download new version 3.8.3 and you should be good to go. Let me know if you're still having problems. Thanks.

Sergey,

The 3.8.3 update did not solve the problem.
I tried to install it as Administrator and it failed with the message
"Microsoft .NET Framework v4.5.50938 or higher must be installed on your computer first. Setup cannot continue"

I have both versions 4.5.1 and 4.5.2 of the .NET Frame work installed on my PC.
Version 4.5.2 is version 4.5.51209 which is later than version 4.5.50938 mentioned within the message.
Please see the attached screen Shots for details.


Any suggestions?

That's not good. Try running setup executable with /Log="<log_file_name>" parameter. Post that log file here so that I can see if I could make sense of what's going on. What's your OS version/bitness btw? Thanks.

Sergey, the contents of the log file are shown below.
Let me know if there is anything else you would like me to try.
I will help anyway I can.

The installation was attempted on Windows 8.1 x64

Thanks for the log. Got it reproduced here. The assumption I made is that Visual Studio 2013 would be tied to .NET 4.5, just like all other previous versions. Instead Microsoft had released .NET 4.6 as in place update. So, I'll need to work around that, again. I'll keep you posted.

Hi,
Is there any progress on this, I am unable to use the latest version with windows 10 and VS 2013 (issues with the version of DotNet?).

I am using the beta okay with VS2015 but the beta expires on the 4th May.

Regards..
Peter

I plan on posting another beta refresh this weekend. That'll include installation application patch I mentioned earlier. The new beta will support both VS 2013 and VS 2015 RC. Thanks.

Ok thanks, look forward to it..

Regards..
