So, I had a version of Win10 that apparently didn't have .Net 3.5 Framework on it. It took an act of congress to get it to install. I eventually found a version of 4.x that included 3.5 in it. This installed.

I don't understand how I could have that much trouble with one of Microsoft's flagship products. Also, I could dig up programs I used on Windows 3.1 that would probably still run today. I get that things get old, but .Net 3.5 is not that old, at least compared to something that would run on Windows 3.1.

It bugs me that they think everyone can just move everything to the next .Net version every time one rolls out.

Man, it wasn't that long ago that I worked at a place that still has a classic ASP web page running.
