Aura, no bad at all about you or any of this! Goodness did you ever work so hard to resolve this mystery!
The best ever, is this thread will never go away and if there happens to be another individual who is having a problem
with the .NET Framework, by golly you have provided endless steps and tutorials to seek a solution.
In closing, I not only wish to thank you, I'd also like to give gigantic thanks and appreciation to my son. He is 19 and is studying
computer science. When I asked him if he knew where the .Net Framework lives, he led me to System 32. From there it took one Google search
and there was my answer.
IMO, many solutions to problems are found within a network. You, my son and incredible volunteers here, and forums like BleepingComputer.com work as a unified team to solve problems. Complex or simple.
And...the path to success continues!
