When installing Autodesk Design Review 2011 and/or DWG TrueView 2011, customers report seeing this .NET Framework warning message which blocks installation.
That’s because the 2011 versions of both products, Design Review and DWG TrueView, do require Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 be installed on the computer before they can be installed. Even if a more recent version of the Framework is installed, such as .NET Framework 4.0, the warning message will be displayed until the .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 is installed first.
The solution is to download and install the .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 from Microsoft website (http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=AB99342F-5D1A-413D-8319-81DA479AB0D7&displaylang=en). Once that’s installed, you can install Autodesk Design Review 2011 and DWG TrueView 2011. (Note that .NET Framework 4 can be installed side by side with older Framework versions.)
Thank you.

I installed everything that AutoDesk advised, I keep getting sent to fkkn Windows Explorer when I use FireFox, and all I want to do is view and save some 2008 AutoCad LT Files.
Nice job, guys.

The AutoDesk Marketing Dept. ought to consider making it easy for us small firms to use the product, instead of focusing on the large firms. Reduce prices, and go for volume.
