.Net framework problem

[JoeM]

My mate has just bought the game, but upon trying to start it gets an error with the .Net framework thingy...hes tried uninstalling it and the game but can't play it at all. Any ideas what the problem might be? He's running Vista SP1, and has had issues with other programmes because he can't update to SP2 (Itunes for example). The error message says .Net version 4 is needed but he has that on his pc...its very odd indeed.

Any ideas/suggestions gratefully accepted

I would think that SP2 not installing is indicative of a bigger problem.

Might be worth trying to sort that out and get it installed before moving to sorting .NET/RW3.

Could be that a .NET update is needed - from what I've heard the selection screen is .NET powered, though the rest of the game isn't.

How come the PC cannot be SP2'd? Specs or the PC just won't have anything to do with it?

It does seem odd that the service pack can't be updated - I would think thats at the root of the problem as the version of .NET that is required is installed on the computer.
