Looks like a useful tool, BUT: could you please post it in a zip file?Some unfortunate souls (like me) are sitting behind corporate web filters that block batch files, script files, exes, etc. - Anonymous

Hi Aaron,Thanks for this! I wasn't quite sure what the output meant (included for your reference below) but it gave me the hint to download & repair my .net framework 3.5 sp1 installation. I still get the same response as below from your tool (as you mentioned above that's not supported yet), but the problem that prompted me to run this tool in the first place is now solved.THE FOLLOWING SCRIPT will check to make sure that .NET Framework 3.5is installed properly and will tell you what is not configured appropriatelyWINDOWS VERSION: 6.0.6001POTENTIAL ERROR: REGISTRYDUMP: reg query "HKLMSOFTWAREMicrosoftNET Framework SetupNDPv2.0.50727" /v "SP"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftNET Framework SetupNDPv2.0.50727 SP REG_DWORD 0x2ERROR: NetFx2.0 SP1 is not installedPOTENTIAL ERROR: REGISTRYDUMP: reg query "HKLMSOFTWAREMicrosoftNET Framework SetupNDPv3.0" /v "SP"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftNET Framework SetupNDPv3.0 SP REG_DWORD 0x2ERROR: Netfx3.0 SP1 is not installed - Anonymous

Useless on Vista Ultimate SP2. The monitor window closes automatically before you have a chance to read the results of running the .bat file, and it writes no log. - Anonymous
