No, but I just went in there and 3.5 can be disabled there.
Make sure it has a tick for 3.5 or 3.5.1

It does. Regardless of whether the box is checked or not OR is still encountering the same error.
Error message:

To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this
application or computer (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.
For example:
<configuration>
<system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />
</configuration>
When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer
rather than be handled by this dialog box.

Please go to your Control Panel, Add/Remove Programs and attach a screen capture of the .NET installed programs and Visual C++ installed programs. The .NET might look something like below

Thanks.

Might not show there. Mine only shows .net 1.1 and .net 4 in add remove. If I go to Turn Windows Features on and off, .net 351 is an option there. Running W7 Pro 64 bit.

Interesting, because if the Redistributable was installed there should be a Registry entry for it. This would provide an entry in Programs.

Just trawled my registry for .net 3.5 and have nothing there, but OR runs fine here so it must be installed.

Been looking at the Microsoft page for .net 3.5 sp1. Interestingly, the download at the top of the page is a small 2.8mb file which I assume is the bootstrapper (download installer). The full 231MB redistributable is hidden away in a small print link down the page. Said bootstrapper runs and hides when run here.

Below are the versions of Microsoft.Net installed on my computer.

Running RegEdit do a search for Microsoft.NET to see what has been installed.

As I understand it earlier versions having been used by programs are compatible with later ones the same as with DirectX !

All versions except 4.0 and up came with Windows 7.
.NET cleanup tool also is not detecting 3.5 sp1 even though I didn't clean that version. I always selected 4.0 when running the tool.

Your screenshots are so small, even when clicked on to enlarge them that they are unreadable because of blurries.

A "colored" box means that some features of .NET 3.5 are turned OFF. The box needs to be checked like it is for "Games".

>RegEdit is disabled by my school admin.

Now we get to the real reason.
Your school is imposing restrictions that are stopping OR from running.

I don't think we can assist any further.

OR still ran until about two months ago. The machine I run it on was modified for the school network a year and a half ago, before I even downloaded OR.

3.5 sp1 shows up in "Turn Windows Features On or Off". The box is at the default setting.

Checked the box so all of the .NET 3.5 sp1 functions are enabled. No luck.

[MP36PH3S]

.NET cleanup tool also is not detecting 3.5 sp1 even though I didn't clean up that version. I always selected 4.0 when running the tool.

In case anyone missed this.

[baldwin]

Have you tried a re-install of OR?
