i keep reinstalling HEK+, but same problem??
please help

ok, so i had .Net framework 2.0 2 version, found out i couldnt install earlier version over top, so i had to figure out how to uninstall later version.....did that, downloaded and installed earlier version, to make a long story short......i'm still getting same error.error log is pasted up above.

no i don't think he meant for you to install an earlier version, that makes things worse.

get the latest .net framework here:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?displaylang=en&FamilyID=0a391abd-25c1-4fc0-919f-b21f31ab88b7

then redownload the latest version of HEK+ here :
http://hce.halomaps.org/index.cfm?fid=2289
and use this instead.

is that latest framework for windows 7?i'm running XP home (cause thats how i roll) or does it matter?my hulk of a machine tells me it already has .NET framework 2.0, 3.0 service pack 2 and 3.5 SP1.....if that makes any difference.

You also need .NET Framework 1.1.

hi, me again, if its not one thing....its another.ok so i updated the framework thingys and downloaded the latest HEK+ thingy, now i extracted the HEK+.exe onto my desktop and clicked on it and then i get this message:
" common language runtime debugging services" Aplication has generated an exception that could not be handled.
process id=0x97c (2428),thread id=0xbd0 (3024).

click ok to terminate the application.
click cancel to debug the application.

i clicked cancel to debug...then i get this message:

no debugger found.
Registered JIT debugger is not available. An attempt to launch a JIT debugger with the following command resulted in an error code of 0x2(2). please check computer settings.
cordbg.exe !a0x97c

click on retry to have the process wait while attaching a debugger manually.
click on cancel to abort the JIT debug request.

what he said. Get .net framework 1.1 and install, then install latest .net framework.
and yes, the latest .net framework should be compatible with XP/vista/7.

And, update your computer with windows update as well as scan your whole comp for viruses and spyware.

Another thing, right-click your HEK+, go to compatability, and ensure that "disable desktop composition" is checked.

IT WORKS!!! thank you for all your helpful responses!...........LET THE MADNESS BEGIN!

Hey u guys that's funny asss any way I have windows xp pro 2002 version and sp2 and I haven't downloaded any net frameworks only used net framework that came with computer and all my applications work including hek+ all the other hek stuff an even halo, it's funny how I download all that halo utilities and it says to download latest version of net framework and I just 'screw that it works any way lol'

if you have windows auto updates then it will do it for you.your .net frame work will be the latest update 1.1,2.0 service pack 2,3.0 service pack 2,3.5 sp1,microsoft.NET framework 4 client profile.that's the way mine is.

Lol like 2 months ago I hadnted started my computer for like 4 months then when I connected it to the Internet shut down my comp It had to install 39 updates and took 3 hours (I just finished playing halo for 8 hrs strait I'm zonked. Though it was fun going ontop of the cliffs In sidewinder and doing yoyorast island on ctf(takes like freekin half an hour to get the damn flag))
