1.6 Updated DTC "Application Exeption"

Posted by: Steven Hopkins on 04 October 2011

Anyone with a recently installed XP PC (that hasn't had the latest Windows updates applied) will likely get an "Application Exception" error upon opening DTC after installation

 

DTC on the 1.6b update disc doesn't incorporate installing .NET 2 runtime libraries, as it is assumed that:

 

a) The user will have an up to date PC running post SP2 XP

 

b) The user may have already installed a previous version of DTC, incorpoating the install of .NET 2 runtime component

 

 

The link for .NET 2 installer can be found here:
