Little Registry Cleaner

.Net Framework Initialization Error

Asked by singahdude

I tried Little Registry Cleaner at work today and it seemed to work just fine. Tonight, at home, I installed the program. When I try to launch, I get an error window:

Little Registry Cleaner.exe - .Net Framework Initialization Error
Please set registry key HKLM\Software\Microsoft\.NETFramework\Installroot to point to the .NET Framework install location.

What does this mean?

This needs to be set to where the Microsoft .NET Framework is installed.

Go to start, run, enter "regedit" and press OK. Locate HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\.NETFramework\Installroot and change it to where the framework is installed. Mine is set to "C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\".

Seeing the date on this one, can I still comment? My daughter has had the exact same message after carrying out a complete system restore. So far it doesn't seem to affect the PC. I ran 'regedit' and got as far as ' HKLM\Software\Microsoft\..., but there was no sign of '.NETFramework etc. On my own machine it's exactly as Nick states on his.

Hi, I am on vacation but I will try to help as best I can. Please go to Google and search for ".net framework 3.5". Follow the links to the download link and try to install it. If that doesn't work than go to add/remove programs and look for "microsoft .net framework 3.5" and click on repair. Thanks

Thanks for the advice. I won't be at my daughters for a few days, so I can't try this yet. Is it important as to which version of '.net framework' is used ? I could just copy the version on my PC and copy it to an identical location. We both run Win XP.

Yes it must be v3.5. I wouldn't try moving your files because there are different types of the framework and theres a ton of files that it must use. This sort of sounds like a virus, I would do a scan using something like malwarebytes.org

Can you help with this problem?
