dot net 3.5
Hi All,
Apparently, I have to have "exactly" dot net 3.5 to get Cobian Backup to work with Volume Shadow Service (VSS). Is there any trick to this, or just go somewhere on M$ web site and download and install it? Many thanks, -T |

For Windows 10, the tables says nothing less than the included 4.7 is installable in the Creators edition (which I have to assume is what you have). https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dot...d-dependencies That's presents differing compatibities regarding what .NET version is included or can be installed on what version of Windows. That says .Net 3.5 is already bundled in Windows 10. To find what versions of .Net that are currently installed, see: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dot...-are-installed To check about .Net 3.5 in your instance of Windows 10, go look under the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\NET Framework Setup\NDP registry key to see if a 3.5 subkey is listed under there. So are you sure your Windows 10 does not already have .NET Framework 3.5 installed? If it is missing from your particular Windows 10 install, you can grab a download of the 3.5 installer at: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/down...ils.aspx?id=21 https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dot...-35-windows-10 As I recall, the installer will check if a version has dependencies with prior versions; i.e., some versions won't install unless the requisite prior version(s) is(are) installed. 3.5 is an incremental update from 3.0 so you need 3.0, too. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.NET_F...elease_history That shows 3.5 was the last minor version within that major version. There wasn't a later version that might modify or rely upon 3.5. You sure you aren't being disingenuous to your paying customers who want a real human instead of getting presented with a frankenstein? Cobian Backup development died back in Dec 2012 - but you already knew that. That's why you keep repairing Cobian Backup. If they are paying you, "free" is not their only criteria for a backup solution. |

Cobian Backup development died back in Dec 2012 - but you already knew that. That's why you keep repairing Cobian Backup. If they are paying you, "free" is not their only criteria for a backup solution. You can install older versions. At least with Win 7, I was able to get 1.1 (I think) there was even instruction howto. Of course Win 10 is a different animal, Soooooooooo ! KenW There are hints here. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.NET_Framework Rev. CLR Date 1.0 1.0 2002-02-13 1.1 1.1 2003-04-24 2.0 2.0 2005-11-07 3.0 2.0 2006-11-06 3.5 2.0 2007-11-19 4.0 4 2010-04-12 4.5 4 2012-08-15 4.5.1 4 2013-10-17 4.5.2 4 2014-05-05 4.6 4 2015-07-20 4.6.1 4 2015-11-30 4.6.2 4 2016-08-02 4.7 4 2017-04-05 ******* Programs that ask for CLR 1.1, won[t be satisfied by other versions. Modern OSes won't be dependent on 1.1 either. That gives a degree of freedom. I don't think a program looking for CLR 2, would particularly be pleased with CLR 4, but I cannot verify that from the available documentation. Because the approach (big release, mini release followed by big update, newer release replaces older release) has changed over the years, and the web articles might still not have enough detail to figure it out. There would not be a tick box for 3.5 in Windows Features, unless it was a compatibility solution for older code. That would be my evidence that installing 4.x with CLR 4, doesn't solve a CLR 2 requirement from an application. Paul |

Cobian Backup development died back in Dec 2012 - but you already knew that. That's why you keep repairing Cobian Backup. If they are paying you, "free" is not their only criteria for a backup solution. Hi Vanguard, Thank you! A wonderful write up. I haven't found anything that has Cobian's feature set to replace it. You have any suggestions? It must have zero proprietary formats and backups must be readable by any file manager, including non-windows file managers. And it must eMail reports. VSS compatibility is a requirement. Also, I receive about 175 Cobian eMail reports a weeks from all my customers using Cobian. It is pretty rare that I have an issue. I has also written rotation and ftp wrappers for Cobian. Eventually, I may just upgrade these wrapper to do it all myself, but ............ This guy can't contact the VSS service. He throws an error trying to backup up his Outlook (speaking of Frankenstein) PST file. A corrupted or missing Dot Net 3.5 seems to be the issue when Googled. The worst part about backup is "out of sight, out of mind". Customer ***** WILL NOT ***** read their backup reports and find their backups damaged or not at all when they need them. So I get them emailed to me. I read them for them for free as it only takes me about 15 minutes a week go through them all. (I use Thunderbird's "find in message" feature and Thunderbird's filters.) And I get paid to fix what goes wrong, typically the drives go bad after about four years or they stop plugging them in (that happens a lot). -T |

We've been through this before. Those are YOUR requirements, not the customer's. Their limitations in choice seem more you limitation. None of the free backup programs that I've tried are lacking VSS support. All have an e-mail report option (you can select to report on success, failure, or just one of those - so failure reports is what is really needed). However, most would require you buy them to the e-mail report feature yet, as I said, they're paying you so I don't believe that having to pay $30-$40 per workstation is outside their budget.

As winston hinted, maybe you have to enable it (i.e., the files would already have to be available or installable internally) as a Windows feature? If it is already there then another install might have it step atop of whatever corruption you think there may be with it. I've also found advice about getting .Net 3.5 to work in Windows 10 by running: DISM /Online /Enable-Feature /FeatureName:NetFx3 /All /LimitAccess /Source:drive:\sources\sxs drive, uppercased, is whatever is the drive letter for the install media with the ISO of Windows 10. I think the capitals are important in this command but if the command fails then try all lowercase. |
