COMPONENT STORE TRANSACTION DETAILS
No transaction information is available.

So I clicked "here" to send details.
which opened the following urls in TABS in my firefox:

https://accounts.google.com/ServiceLogi ... g%3DCannot

http://www.load.com/

http://www.internal.com/

http://www.manifest.com/

http://www.from.com/

http://www.component.com/

http://search.charter.net/index.php?ori ... /file./&r=

the last one I suspect had to do with charter doing some kind of redirect on this malformed url.

Anyway, here is the info, I have other stuff to install, likely others are experiencing this.

maybe:
https://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStu ... -framework

try clicking a 2nd time

I love these verbose errors, this is Microsoft .NET at its best.

Manifest? I thought only mass murderers from Norway write those...

[Forboding Angel]

Have to write one if you want an elevation prompt. Usually you bake them into the exe but technically you can leave them outside and they will work.

I'm guessing it's the compact profile.

What happened is that MS bloated the .NET framework to obscene levels, and then released a light version called the "compact profile". Some computers have the full .NET framework, and some have the CF, and most users don't know which they have.

Most developers dont' realize this and target the full version even if they don't need its full featureset. My guess is that the library Newtonsoft.Json.dll is one of those.

Thank you for the tip Pxtl.

I deployed ZKL with .NET 4 full prerequisite.
Try it now please if it helps.
