FIX FOR: Win 7 + HPTuners = no install
I am using HPTuners and Windows 7 on my computers. When I first installed HPTuners (just after Windows 7 came out), it installed without issue. Now 6 months later I attempted to reinstall (did a rebuild on my desktop) and I couldn't get HPTuners to install. I kept getting the "can't find Net Framework 2.0" error when Win 7 comes with Net Framework 4.0. You can't install 2.0 into Win 7 because (rightly so) you already have 4.0.
The issue seems to be that over time, Microsoft has sent out updates and one of them (no clue which) messes with HPTuners finding Net Framework.
The solution is to remove the Net Framework requirement from the HPTuners installer. You will need to download "Easy MSI Editor" to pull this off (Google it....it's freeware).
Install MSI Editor and use it to open your HPTuners installer. Go down the list on the left hand side and fine the "LaunchCondition" table. Delete this table (right click and delete).

I don't know. Do some searches on HPT forum and see if you can find anything.

2.22 with the net framework checks removed can be found here http://www.hptuners.com/forum/showpo...4&postcount=23
The framework checks are in there for a reason as our software requires net framework 2.0 or later so those that are running older pc's and net framework 1.1 or something like that need to upgrade to net 2.0 to use our software.
With that said microsoft recently came out with an automatic update that has created issues with the check in the installer software we utilize when building new compiles. So the software you received is the correct one and will work fine for any customer running an older pc or running without automatic updating turned off, the new build is an easy fix for those using automatic updating.
Not sure who you spoke to via email but if you have any further questions regarding this or any other issue feel free to email me at bill at hptuners.com
Thanks,
