V505 Dell Imaging Toolbox Windows 7 RC1 X64 Problem

go HERE to get net framework 2.0 did you look in control panel programs to see if it is installed?

You can have different versions of netframework running at the same time.

Thanks for the suggestion Dave but........

1 You linked to the 32 bit version, I'm on a 64 bit OS

2 I'm running Windows 7 X64, which already has .NET 2.0 built in , so I cant install the 64 bit version either, even though it isn't listed in control panel.

Your sig says your running win 7 x64, do you have .net 2.0 showing in your control panel?

I've discovered that if I run frun.exe from c:\program files(x86)\dell v505, the imaging toolbox actually runs ok although it still gives the .NET 2.0 framework error.

The exe that causes the error is c:\program files(x86)\dell v505\app4r.exe

Dave, you can't install .NET 2.0 on windows 7  and you can't install the 32 bit version on a 64 bit system.

Perhaps I should have said any sensible suggestions.

the dell program is a 32 bit program so install the 32 bit version. You can them both installed.

Try running the program in compatibilty mode of vista sp1

and for the recored you can install 32 bit drivers and software on a 64 bit system I do it all the time.

I have tried running dell imaging toolbox under all the compatibility modes, and as administrator all with no sucess.

 .NET 2.0 Framework WILL NOT install on Win 7 x32 or x64. Try it for yourself if you don't belive me.

You are correct that you can run 32 bit software (applications) on a 64 bit system but you can not use 32 bit drivers.

Then it is not compatible with windows 7 and since it is a beta product there will more than likely not be any Dell support untill it is fully realeased and that is a maybe too

Yeah, thanks for that dave, of course that's reason.

I can see how you've got to almost 11,000 posts.

Same problem for me. Sadly this is a replacement printer for one that was just fried by dells firmare update program.

I'm about done dealing with Dell's printers.

You can download this version, work great with Win7

I have been having the same issue and I was wondering if you ever found a solution. When I initially installed the printer (v305 with dell imaging toolbox) onto my computer I got the error, and after downloading every possible version of .net framework 2.0, stumbled upon a forum that linked me to the correct download. I recently had to uninstall the printer because it stopped connecting wirelessly when I changed the router. When I re-installed, I started getting the error again and can't open the imaging toolbox. 

Every forum/blog I've checked just says that i have .net framework 3.5 which has 2.0 or other unhelpful information so I am hoping you have figured out a solution?

SpEddie23,

You upgraded to Windows 7 correct?

Is this a Dell computer?
