S3D and Windows 11

John Pancoast · 04-04-22, 11:32 AM

I recently got a new pc but can't get S3D to install on it. Says I need .net 2.0 but 11 comes with a later version of .net already.
Obviously S3D doesn't recognize it and 11 won't let me install an earlier .net version, and I have no desire to uninstall the version with 11.
Anyone have S3D running on 11 and if so, how ?

John, in Win10, you "Search" on "Turn Windows Features On and Off", and noodle with the 'tree' there for "dotNetFramework 3.5 (includes 2.0 adn 2.1", or some such. I am not sure if that is there anymore in Windows 11 though... If it is, and you can get it to download and install, be sure when you go to do the install, to right click on the msi file and choose "Run as Administrator" for the install, and then change the Properties page for the executable after the install and set it up like you would an SH3 install on the Compatibility tab.

Excellent! Now, go sink some ships, but in the infamous words of the legendary Jimbuna: "Be more aggressive"...
