ComicBase Tip:

Error #2908 When Installing ComicBase

Are you seeing this error when attempting to run an installer? Chances are, the .Net Framework on your machine is damaged in some way (“.Net” is Microsoft’s name for a huge collection of shared Windows code which is increasingly used by various products, including Microsoft’s own installers).

To fix it, try the following:

1. Close all open programs on your machine and shut down any tasks running in your System Tray (the area at the bottom-right of your task bar)
2. Use Start > Settings > Control Panels > Add and Remove Programs and uninstall the Microsoft .Net Framework (all versions)
3. Download a program called dotnetfx.cleanup_tool.zip (referenced here: http://blogs.msdn.com/astebner/archive/2005/04/08/406671.aspx)
4. Use Start > Microsoft Update (or Windows Update) and re-download and install the .Net Framework
