"Unable to find a version of the runtime to run this application" running .NET app in virtual XP mac
- by Pete
I've written a few winform apps in .net 2.0 which won't run in a virtual XP (running from VirtualBox).
I get the error "unable to find a version of the runtime to run this application" (.NET Framework Initialization Error).
I've tried fixing the installation of .net and also installing v3.5. I think it's probably a security issue rather than a framework problem, but i'm running under an administrator account.
Other .net apps (2.0) run ok, so it might be a strong name/signing problem. I've tried compiling them completely unsigned and also delay signing them with a key and turning on verification skipping with the sn tool.
help greatly appreciated!
