WinFX Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 (edited) Today I managed to install .NET Framework 4.8 on my VM with Windows Vista Home Basic x64, how did I do it? First to install it use the method previously used with the .NET Framework 4.6.2 and 4.7.x; nothing more than this time the procedure is longer since when starting any application designed for .NET Framework 4.x in Vista an error dialog appears for lack of instructions in kernel32.dll and ole32.dll respectively. In HxD edit the clr.dll file that was the library that calls those instructions, replace clr.dll with the edited version and, surprise! NET Framework 4.8 is compatible with Windows Vista! Even create a small application with Visual Studio in Windows 7 to see if it worked at all and NET Framework 4.8 works correctly in Vista. Instructions for installing NET Framework 4.8 on Vista (you need to have a minimum .NET Framework 4.6.1 installed) 1. With the method of previous versions on this page: https://msfn.org/board/topic/178673-tutorial-how-to-install-net-framework-472-on-windows-vista/ 2. After finishing the installation, replace clr.dll in "C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319" and "C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319" with the versions in the zip file 3. Do regsvr32 if necessary 4. Restart your Windows Vista 5. NET Framework 4.8 in Windows Vista!

You are not the first to hope that the only obstacle to running Paint.NET on Vista was its .NET requirement. In May 2019 there was some discussion of Paint.NET in another thread beginning here and ending with WinClient5270's May 19 post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trancer03 Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 When I try to do step 1 for .NET Framework 4.8, I get an error during installation. Here is part of a log referring to the error: C:\2a05c1a92f925cf307816e\netfx_Full_x64.msi Signature could not be verified for netfx_Full_x64.msi No FileHash provided. Cannot perform FileHash verification for netfx_Full_x64.msi File netfx_Full_x64.msi (C:\2a05c1a92f925cf307816e\netfx_Full_x64.msi), failed authentication. (Error = -2146869232). It is recommended that you delete this file and retry setup again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vistapocalypse Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 I believe the log is referring to the fact that .NET Framework installers are nowadays signed with SHA-2. I would not recommend installing .NET 4.7 or 4.8 on Vista in any case, but you could always install SHA-2 support via Server 2008 updates if you are determined to proceed anyway. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trancer03 Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 (edited) I upgraded to .NET 4.6.1 before I tried. Does it mean that I wouldn't get updates from i430vx.net automatically anymore? Can I update to 4.6.2? Edited February 28 by trancer03 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
