ATI Catalyst Control Center and .NET Framework

[serpico]

When I launch the ATI Catalyst Control Center, it shows the startup banner and then hangs (just the program, not Windows). I am still able to run at native resolution (1400x1050) just fine and adjust DPI.

I did a clean install on my T60 (with ATI Radeon x1400), and the first thing I did after loading the chipset support was to install the video drivers. After that, on every boot, I would get an error "cli.exe application failed to initialize properly". This is because .Net Framework was not installed. After installing .Net Framework v2.0, the error went away, but I am still unable to launch ATI CCC.

Any thoughts? Do I need to install .Net Framework BEFORE installing the video drivers? Or is the sequence unimportant and is the problem that I am using .Net v2.0 instead of v1.1?

nothing...

While I am not familiar with your particular problem, I believe that some applications require .NET 1.1 and so you may need to have both .NET 1.1 and .NET 2.0 installed. Probably you would want to install .NET 1.1 first, then .NET 2.0 after (speculation on my part).

It's weird but true that you need .Net Framework 1.1(SP1) for CCC working even you have installed .Net Framework 2.0.

I noticed that when I had only .Net 2.0 installed, Windows Update still showed .Net 1.1 as an update.

It's because 2.0 is not binary backward compatible with 1.1.
