Update *SOLVED*

So it turns out another post elsewhere recommended just installing the SDK.
When I installed the SDK on my Windows 7 rig, the issue did not resolve.
When I installed the SDK today on my Win10 rig, the issue was resolved!  🥳

I just joined to say thank you for this. 

 

I was having all of the same issues. Multiple PC's. 

 

I just installed the SDK and all the sudden it worked. So for anyone else that stumbles into this thread, give the SDK a shot. They say you don't need it - but if it works who cares why?

 

Regards

Installing the sdk worked for me as well. I disabled .net features from turn on/off windows features, re-enabled them yet LB is still complaining about needing .net core. I downloaded and installed every version of the runtimes as well. Still nothing. Installing the SDK worked....

I'll bump this too, tried every other suggested fix and installing the SDK is the only thing that worked for me.  Win 10 Pro.

So today my LB crashed trying to do an update.

 

Now the error is back. I already have SDK installed. Dont know what to try now.

 

crazy that so many have this issue with no word from support.

Sorry to hear, although there has been multiple responses from us within this very thread. The only reasons LaunchBox would keep asking for .NET to be installed would be either:

• You have the incorrect version of .NET Core Runtime that's required for LaunchBox to operate (there's so many different versions, and so many variations of the same version that it's easy to mix them up)
• Some Windows files are corrupt and cannot tell that you have the correct version of .NET Core installed.

Here's the link to the correct version of .NET Core 3.1:

• https://dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/download/dotnet/3.1

You should be downloading the x64 link under the header: .NET Desktop Runtime 3.1.32  (middle part - right hand side)

If you would like to know which versions of .NET Core you have installed, you can do the following:

• hit Windows Key + R (for run)
• type cmd and hit enter
• type: dotnet --list-runtimes

If Windows files are corrupt, you can do the following to try and fix it:

• hit Windows Key
• type cmd, right click on "Command Prompt" and choose Run as Administrator
• type: sfc /scannow

There are also tools out there that can try and repair or uninstall different versions of .NET that may be conflicting, but I believe those tools are more advanced and you should use them at your own discretion.

Yes I have seen your repeated responses and also the people repeating back to you that they cant get it working until they try the SDK.

 

Anyways, I got it working again, I had to remove .net 7, then get a fresh copy of LB, then reinstall the SDK. My guess is the update broke something

Did you eventually get your Win 7 PC working and if yes what did you do?
