False Alarm: .Net Framework 1.1 SP1 and Vault

[dan]

We had earlier reported that the .Net Framework 1.1
Service Pack 1 was not compatible with Vault. The
.Net 1.1 SP1 Framework appears to work without
problems, and can be safely upgraded.

However, Vault is not compatible with the 2.0 Beta
version of the .Net framework, and Vault users will
need to upgrade to Vault 2.0.6 or above before updating
their .Net Framework to the 2.0 version. The 2.0 version
of the framework is currently in early Beta and will be
released in conjuction with Visual Studio 2005.

Is .Net Framework 1.1 SP1 automatically installed with Windows/XP SP2?

Is .Net Framework 1.1 SP1 automatically installed with Windows/XP SP2?

No it isn't. It is only officially being released in September according to the Technical Preview site however sites like Neowin.net and the likes have links to the files available from Microsoft's download site.

Sorry for the false alarm - see http://software.ericsink.com/entries/false_alarm.html

I installed SP1, and Vault failed to run.

I uninstalled the framework, reinstalled it and Vault worked.

Appears *NOT* to work correctly on SP1 to me.

Dino:

We had originally thought that all installations of SP1 would cause problems with Vault. This is obviously not the case. We need to figure out why there are problems for your installation, but that can be handled in your original thread.

[Dino]

Yeah - having read the blog, the fears you had appear to have been unfounded, but I still encountered that problem - it's just a big problem for me because I have source files that are not considered to be under source control by the VS.Net addin (because they are linked etc) so have no way of checking them in/out without the Vault client running. Could be an issue for others too...

After installing SP1, when I try to run Vault, the "VaultGUIClient.exe" process gets started but nothing happens. The software is not loaded. Any work around ?

[dan]

Which version of Vault are you running? You need to upgrade to 2.0.6 in order to run with the SP1 framework.

[JPhil]

I'm running 2.0.3. I will install the update to see if it works

I'm having the same problem (nonresponsive vault client) after SP1. I set the shortcut to start maximized, and now see these exceptions on starting the GUI:

I reinstalled the same version (I think) and it's working fine now.
