I downloaded Windows Vista Upgrade Advisor from microsoft.com.
For the record, I have:
1. Windows XP SP2
2. .Net 1.0, 1.1, 2.0, 3.0
When I installed the upgrade advisor, it threw the following error: "Failure decoding embedded permission set object". I googled and came up dry. Finally, I saw the light and modified the VistaUpgradeAdvisor.exe.config file:
1 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
2 <configuration>
3 <appSettings>
4 <add key="ShowDeviceVenderComments" value="true" />
5 <add key="ShowAppsThatWorks" value="true" />
6 </appSettings>
7 8 <startup>
9 <supportedRuntime version="v2.0.50727" />
10 </startup>
11 12 </configuration>
.Net is supposed to run side-by-side, right? If the UpgradeAdvisor supports 1.1, why did it require the modifications I did? We'll dissect the behavior in my next post.
