I keep getting this error when I launch WWT. I click continue and everything seems to be ok. I installed the hotfix from this forum and I've got the latest .NET framework, 3.5, installed. I'm running Vista Business. I've checked for update in WWT/Settings and it reports that I have the latest installed. Can anybody help?
Here's the full text of the error message:

Hi gsilverman,
WWT requires Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0. Both 2.0 and 3.5 can coexist on the same computer.

Thank you,

Hi, Chuck,
So, are you saying WWT won't work with the latest version of .NET? That's scarry.

Hello, Chuck,
I installled .Net 2.0 and still have the same problems.

Hi Glenn,
There is nothing scary about it, the two are mutually exclusive. We started developing WWT well before the release of Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5.
Thanks,
I am also having this problem plus WWT crashes if I browse to the southern sky.
I am using Vista Home Premium, SP1, all recent updates. I also just installed the .net 3.5 package because it says that it includes .net 2.0 SP1.
I have had this problem since installing, several months ago.
Thanks
Chris
