Unable to start because of .NET Framework

[Josef]

I am not able to start your free trial programs (PV*SOL^® premium and/or PV*SOL), because - as I found - my .NET Framework is 4.6 version only. Any advice?

Thank you, Josef

Hi Josef,

Usually the runtime should install itself during the PV*SOL installation, but sometimes this fails. You can install a newer version of the .NET framework, at least version 4.7.2., by hand. Visit the following link, download the runtime and install it on your machine.

https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download/dotnet-framework/net472

Choose to install the runtime, not the developer pack.

Kind regards,

Martin

Hi Joe,

Windows Vista an Windows 7 are not supported anymore, I am afraid. You should really consider to update to Windows 10, since also Microsoft dropped official support for those operating systems (for Windows Vista in 2017 already, for Windows 7 in January 2020).

Microsoft won't provide updates, security patches and so on. It is really a security risk running those operating systems.

Kind regards,

Thank you for your comments and advices.

Should I now uninstall the Valentine free trial SW ? Will I be able to use it again after getting new Windows operating system ?
