The device configurator does not work in PG5 1.4 or the project manager PG5 2.0 does not open at all.

FAQ #101274

 

Problem
- The device configurator does not open in PG5 1.4. Otherwise the "Hardware Settings" worked well.
- The PG5 2.0 Project Manager does not open at all. Just an error message "failed to start..." appears.

Reason
PG5 2.0 and the device configurator are based on the Microsoft .net framework 2.0. If it is not installed on you computer with Windows XP installed, the PG5 2.0 tools won't work (the Microsoft .net framework 2.0 is a part of Windows Vista; this FAQ only appies to PCs with XP installed).

Solution
In this case you have to install .net framework 2.0. It is available on the CD Image of PG5 2.0 and PG5 1.4.300.
CDImage/PG5/Windows/dotnetfx_2_0.exe
Close PG5 and execute this installation file.
