Installing .NET for Windows

It is rare that you might need to do the following steps to install .NET

Only do so if advised by the Arts Management Systems Support Team

Windows installs may require you to do one of the following if you get errors starting Theatre Manager, or if Theatre Manager starts, but seems to hang with some menus open, but the login window does not appear.

Older versions of XP and some versions of Windows 7 may not require this step. However, lately, Microsoft has opted to make their flagship .NET tools an optional part of Windows, which causes the error above. Installing .NET will add that part of Windows back into Windows that Microsoft made optional.

  • Download and install .NET version 2 (XP or earlier) or version 3 (Vista or later) if you do not have it.
