    Riddled with more problems than a target is with bullets...

    Another error, of a more serious sort. I'm sorry for seemingly bombarding the OR team with problems but this one is completely perpelxing. OR worked fine this morning too.

    Can you attach the OpenRailsLog.txt and tell us what ORTS is doing when you get errors I have none of.

      OR doesn't start. This came from Microsoft .NET Framework and started happening after Windows update downloaded a security update for .NET.

          First, what OS are you running? The OR team can be on the look out for similar community members with the same issue.

          You could un-install & re-installing the .NET 3.5 SP1 Redistributable Framework from here

            The NetFramework Cleanup Tool may interest you. Uninstalling Net Framework using Windows uninstaller generally doesn't work very well.

            Also, in most cases, unless you're using Net Framework for development, you really don't need to let Microsoft update any version of Net Framework. The version installed for the particular program you're installing is generally the best version to run.

                Did you try any of the fixes?
                Which one?

                  I tried the cleanup tool. Also I reinstalled .NET after cleaning it up.

                    Tried manually uninstalling and reinstalling. OR works now-thanks y'all.
                    EDIT: Activity runner is freezing up. Should keep using more RAM but it stops at 2,159K or something like that and freezes. Used every consist imaginable and none work.

                          Anyone running OR with .NET 4.0? I can't install 3.5-keeps saying to use the "Turn Windows Features On or Off" function in the Control Panel to install it.

                            It won't run with .net 4, it needs .net 3.5sp1

                              Okay. Problem 1 taken care of. Is the only way to install .NET 3.5 via the "Turn Windows Features On or Off" option in the control panel?
