I've just done a clean install of Vista Home Premium - then installed
Visual Studio 2005 Express C# - and SP1 - and the Windows Update for
it.

But I can't get Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 Configuration to run
(from Control Panel \ Administrative Tools) - every time I open it #,
it looks as though it is starting, opens up a window showing the MMC
console root, .NET Framework 2.0 in the tree and a pane with all the
tasks I'd expect (like Manage the Assembly Cache) - then promptly pops
up a windows saying "Microsoft Management Console has stopped working"
giving me the options to check online for a solution or just close the
program.

The details it gives are as follows:

Description:
Stopped working

Problem signature:
Problem Event Name: CLR20r3
Problem Signature 01: mmc.exe
Problem Signature 02: 6.0.6000.16386
Problem Signature 03: 4549af41
Problem Signature 04: mscorlib
Problem Signature 05: 2.0.0.0
Problem Signature 06: 4536f11f
Problem Signature 07: 1518
Problem Signature 08: 0
Problem Signature 09: System.IO.FileNotFoundException
OS Version: 6.0.6000.2.0.0.768.3
Locale ID: 2057



I've uninstalled and reinstalled, I've used system restore to go back
to a point before I did the first install, I'm logged on as an
administrator, I've tried the Run As Administrator option . . .

Has anyone else seen this? Any clues about how I fix it?

Many thanks for any assistance.

I'm having the same problem, using Vista Ultimate x64, Visual Studio
2005 TS w/ SP1 w/ Vista update. I'll post here if I find a solution
but if anyone else can figure this out I'd like to know.

I also am having this issue with the exact same configuration
described. Any progress toward a solution?

Update: I found a workaround to this issue:

1. Open an Administrative mode command prompt.
2. Type "mmc" then hit Enter to fire up the management console.
3. Add the ".NET 2.0 config" snap-in and enjoy.

It appears that the problem occurs only when the .NET 2.0
Configuration applet is used from Control Panel > Admin Tools. After
checking what files were being accessed using Procmon, I noticed that
there were indeed files that could not be found, which is evidently
why the applet was throwing a System.IO.FileNotFoundException. It may
be that accessing MMC from CP/Admin does not give appropriate
permissions and context to successfully use the .NET 2.0 configuration
applet?
