Ironpython console disappears instantly
The same result
Iropython requires .NET 2.0 sp1 or later
There is no error infact...
I suppose Ironpython is not finding the .Net libraries where it is supposed to be. 
If the control panel\Add remove programs shows the .Net framework, does this mean they are installed. I am asking this question coz in forums no body has talked about checking the control panel thing; however, they either talk about checking Registry or %systemroot%\Microsoft .net\Framework and check for Mscorlib.dll  in the respective version folder.
Well, I have found the .dll file for .net 2.0 and .net 1.1  but not for .net 3.0 
If .net 3.0 is not installed, then the reason for failure of ironpython is sp1 for .net 2.0 is not installed.
Also, i checked the registry information at 
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft.NETFramework\policy\v2.0
and found that .NEt 2.0, the orignal version is installed
however, I found .net 3.0 in .NETFramework folder, but not in policy folder. And in that folder, there is no such folder like v3.0 where the value is set such and such.
I installed ironpython 2.0 in the windows xp professional box and it requires .Net framework 2.0 service pack 2 or later. The windows box has it. But still the console disappears. There is issue in either of them.
Need help?
