Just done a much needed clean reinstall of XP Pro on my old 'encoding' PC (AMD XP 2800+ 2.09 GHz, 1.0 GB DDR RAM, nVidia GeForce FX 5200, XP Pro SP2 2002 + SP3). A dinosaur, I know, but for the amount of encoding I do these days (mostly SD stuff), it does the job.
Re-installing programs and trying to keep it 'lean and mean' (well, lean anyway). MeGUI is an essential. Question is which .Net Framework version to install?
If I understand correctly, MeGUI (still) runs on Framework 2.0, correct ?
Over the years I gone through the series of version and SP updates from .Net Framework 1.1 through 2.0 to 3.5 SP1, so I had them all. After the XP re-install Windows update is now giving me the options of:
.Net Framework version 1.1
.Net Framework 3.5 Service Pack 1 and .Net Framework 3.5 Family upgrade
.Net Framework 4 Client Profile for Windows XP
with the advice to install the Framework 4 Client Profile first and separately and check the updates again.
This I would do, but I am hesitant because it was a program (IP cam surveillance) running on the 4 Client Profile that froze up my PC and caused all manner of systemic problems when I tried to uninstall/fix. Could'nt restore from System Restore or an external back-up. Hence the XP re-installation.
So, I'm tempted to install just the 3.5 SP1 and 3.5 Family upgrade but is it correct that this includes full retro support for Version 2.0 based applications?
