.net framework 4 compatibility for sketchup
-
What is confusing to me, is that I have instances of .net of a couple of versions. Evidently, it is not something that overwrites previous versions? And it is not backward compatible?
-
Several versions can peacefully co-exist on the system. Also it seems it's not backward compatible since you do need -NET 2 for SU even if you have something higher. See some explanation here:

I have every version of .Net installed and all the latest patches for them with no issues.
Best,

Jason.so you have .net 2, 3.5 and 4 yeah?. I guess I should install 3.5 before installing version 4. That's why i'm having problems. You're using 32 bit xp or 64 bit?
@gaieus, i have version 2 already installed. It was installed when I was installing my drivers.

I've been asked to install older .NET frameworks after I've installed newer versions - has not been a problem. AFAIK they can be added and removed independently and has no dependencies on each other.

I've uninstalled version 4 forever. I installed all the previous versions. Still when I installed 4 it was giving problems. BTW do you have version 4 installed on you XP machine? Which service pack are you using? I had this problem for a second my desktop looked like this for like 10 seconds. I've been using computers with windows for years but haven't ever experienced this kinda problem.

That looks more like a graphic card issue...
Odd that .NET framework should trigger such artifacts. Are you drivers up to date?I don't know what's installed on my XP machine - it's an old laptop that's been stuffed away somewhere. Not using it any more.

Man, you could just get that upgraded and like use it for renders. There's a friend of mine who has a laptop and a desktop with high configs. He uses desktop for rendering purposes and laptop for active work. I mean you put renderings on it, do active designing work on your another PC or laptop.

I work exclusively with Windows 7 now.

He uses desktop for rendering purposes and laptop for active work. I mean you put renderings on it, do active designing work on your another PC or laptop. It's not suited for that work. It's quite old and very underpowered. Additionally, it's my private laptop and I don't do renderings at home. Enough of that at work.
At work I did use to have 11 old P4 computers that had been replaced by newer ones. But they where very time consuming to maintain and consumed a hell of a lot of power. Recently I discarded all of them and replaced them with two hexa-core computers that yields more CPU power for the tenth of the power consumption and 6 times easier to maintain. -

Hexa core? May I know the name of the processors?? Are they i7? You're using 64 bit windows or 32 bit?

I can check the specs tomorrow when I'm back at the office. (just got home.)
Was looking at octgacores - or even one decacore I think - but two computers with hexacores gave the most bang for the bucks.
