Nvidia inspector net framework error

On downloading the latest version (1.9.7.2) of the inspector, I’m finding myself unable to open up the configuration menu.
I’m running it as admin obviously, but when I click the button, I get this Unhandled Exception error:

See the end of this message for details on invoking
just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.

************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this
application or computer (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.

For example:

<configuration>
<system.windows.forms jitDebugging=»true» />
</configuration>

When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer
rather than be handled by this dialog box.

Sometimes the config window opens, but it doesn’t have any application profiles in it to edit, being completely blank.
I’m currently using a GeForce GTX 650 Ti, with the 335.23 WHQL driver.
I would greatly appreciate any help that I could get.

Hmm, try update/reinstall .net?

Right now I do have .net framework 3.5, 4 Multi-targeting pack, and 4.5.1.
Should I get rid of the old versions and just go with 4.5.1, or what? Trying to repair 4.5.1 at the moment to see if that works.

EDIT: Apparently I shouldn’t get rid of old versions. Currently reinstalling to try that.

It is using .net 2.0, so you should reinstall that one.

Thank you. Also a bit of an update on my issue.

Apparently uninstalling and reinstalling the .net framework has turned into an epic quest of trying to figure out why version 3.5 won’t install through the download on Microsoft or on Windows Update. I’m halfway tempted to bring out my OS disk and repair it from there, but I’m determined to figure out what the heck’s going on.

Because it is installed by Windows 7 itself, if you are using Windows 7.

For Windows 8/8.1, the .net 2.0-3.5 can be installed by just enable it in Windows Feature, and it can be fixed by running the SFC /scannow.

You may want to try SFC /scannow, or just un-tick the .net in Windows Feature, reboot, then tick it back to reinstall.

Also 8/8.1 is smart enough to detect when an application needs a certain version, and should pause the application and prompt you to install the version you need automatically. Worked that way for me when I launched Inspector on Windows 8.1.

Yup, this is right, anything in the Programs Feature that need to be enabled will be detected by OS, when running program that need it.

Currently using Vista on my home machine, so yeah. I’ve already tried sfc /scannow a few times to no avail.
Also, every time I try to install framework 3.5 from Windows update, it hits me with a WindowsUpdate_00000643 error.

You just need to Google «windows update 00000643», then you will found the solution.

On the first answer, it says to use Windows Fix-It, which also throws up an error, exits, and gives me a DIAG_MATS_NETWORK_global.DiagCab file I don’t exactly know what to do with.

Strange…
Google MY(Malaysia) give me this.
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/…00000643/d45c9516-6988-4cbf-a36f-7fb12f292352

Which is for the old MS cleanup tools.

That’s the site I tried, and Windows Installer Cleanup Tool doesn’t see .net 3.5 anywhere.

I forgot you are Windows 7 ;P

Anyways, Method 2 don’t works too?
How about untick .net and tick it back at the Windows Feature?

Those don’t run, and I’ve tried many times already. They give me this set of errors:

I’m running Vista Home Premium, not 7 or 8.
But I’ll try those again.

Yup, but it can be changed in Vista sp2, if I am right.

Okay, good news bad news update.

Good news: I managed to get .Net Framework 3.5 reinstalled! Just had to delete the Vista SP1 update, and run the Upgrade option from the CD. All my files are still in place, too.
Bad news: Nothing changed, an error keeps coming up in the Inspector.

Okay, sorry for neglecting this thread for so long.

But for some reason, when I started it up today to see if some time away from the problem would work, it actually went to the profile config screen with no problems or errors.

I wish I could say what changed with Windows Update or anything in the .NET install/uninstallation I’ve been doing, but hey it works now.

Sorry I can’t provide a more detailed answer.
