Remove .NET Framework and solve Quickbooks startup problem

Microsoft Framework .NET consists of a set of tools that allow programmers to tap into some web related technologies for creating rich, interactive applications for our computers and web sites. Unfortunately, it sometimes causes problems as well. This week alone, I helped 3 Quickbooks users overcome problems with their programs hanging or failing to start by uninstalling and reinstalling the .NET Framework.

Unfortunately, uninstalling .NET via the add/remove programs doesn't work in these situations. As is almost always the case, an extremely smart and industrious individual came up with a solution. I found this tool on a blog while searching for a solution. It is a clever removal tool for all aspects of the .NET Framework. It is recommended that you try using the Add/Remove programs method for uninstalling it first, but if it doesn't work, use the tool.

Once you remove the .NET software, however, you need to install it again. To do so, download a copy of the .NET installer software by clicking here.

Again, this tip is for very specific instances of .NET Framework problems. It can also be used in situations where you have a Windows update for .NET that never installs properly.
