oops, accidently didn't type anything in the last one P

1. Yes, i've had the same problem for as long as others in the post...
2. Yes, Eric57's solution worked for me, Yay!

anywho, i just wanted to clarify Eric's instructions for people like me who
didn't auto assume some basic stuff that help make the fix work P

When you download the redistributable (of whichever you pick), Run the
self-extracter, then choose Save, not Run, for the dotnetfx.exe file,
otherwise you can't pick out dotnetfx.exe from within to somewhere where you
can easily access it from the Command Prompt; I chose My Downloads right in
my c/: drive (heck, not like I put anything in there anyway...). If you
allow dotnetfx.exe to self-install, there will be no EXE to access with
Command Prompt; you must manually choose somewhere to save, and then, using
Eric57's command line, run the file yourself.

Hope I haven't been too confusing ;oP
