Hi George,
I'm not suggesting you need to upgrade to Windows 10 - as mentioned, the
app is built on and runs on Windows 7.
I don't know anything about Framework 4.0 or Framework 3.5, but a quick
look reveals that Microsoft .NET Framework 4.0 was released just under nine
and half years ago. I don't specify anything in my software to say that
it's required, but I could see why the build software might assume it is
installed on PCs in current use. ;-)
I do think it requires some version of the Microsoft VC++ redistributable
packages. But again, I couldn't say which: The build machine never had any
externally added to it that did not come automatically with Windows Update.
As to thread hi-jacking, I have no idea. I try to reply to the posts that
address me and/or my software fairly quickly, and I rarely pay that much
attention to the rest of the thread unless I really need to. I can't keep
track of all the threads I get involved with anyway ;-)

Rune,
You are doing fine work. Keep it up.
But I hope you can understand the frustration of not being able to run the
software on the many laptops and other computers that have not been
upgraded to Win10. We do not want to install a bloated Framework 4.0 when
it already has Framework 3.5 --- just to run one program.
If you ever get it to run on WinXP that would be a big big plus!
I'm sure a software developers life is full of headaches. Hope you hang in
there. Your work is appreciated by many here.
By the way, how did this thread get hi-jacked away from dealing with Win7
issues?

Hi George (and others),
the .exe for NanoVNA-Saver is built on Windows 7 - on a virtual machine
that's used for nothing else. It has the build tools installed, but
otherwise is just a (fully updated) clean Windows 7 install.
I'm not sure what else I can do to make it run on a clean Windows 7? I
*do* assume that people install updates - I don't think I have any way to
generate executables that will work on un-updated machines, or indeed on
Windows XP, which I've recently discovered there are still people using.
If you have any suggestions on what to do to make it more portable, let
me
know :-)

Did try on Win7 32, 64 and different pc's, but same result
Swap HD op the pc and run Win10, it works
Any idea?

We had the same problem here... works with Win10 but not Win7. Not
sure if
this is the cause of your problem.
We found that Win7 did not have latest Framework 4.0.
Many software developers assume that we all have the latest versions.
We finally gave up trying to get it to work with Win7 on all of the
laptops here.
