Sentinel: Sentinel, Windows 11 & Dell

[AC2OY]

I just purchased a new Dell Inspiron15 running Windows 11. My wife found the download from here for Sentinel but when I go to run it instructs me to download NET 2.0. I would have thought that the new windows would already have that. My question is it safe to download that or is there a workaround?

No you have to download it. Just click yes on that prompt and windows will pull it from the site and download/install for you(at least it did for me)

You don't download anything!

Go to - Control panel / programs and features / turn Windows features on and off / turn on .Net Framework 3.5 (includes .NET 2.0 and 3.0) / OK

Oh boy lol I downloaded a NET service pack from Microsoft!!! I hope it doesn't mess anything up!!! Thank you very much for the reply. I had no idea that you can do that because I'm not that computer savvy.

You won't hurt anything by downloading - it just isn't necessary.
Or, better said, Windows will download what it needs when you enable .Net Framework 3.5 and click OK.

Ok thank you nesnet for all your help!

If it bothers you to answer an occasional redundant question, don't answer it.

Other people here will be happy to help.

I guess it didn't "bother" me enough that I answered the question.
(And, was thanked for my answer).

Part of helping (especially newbs) is to 'teach them to fish as well as giving them a fish'.
Helping anyone to be more proficient is to teach them how to use all of the available resources (search for instance).

Those are excellent points, nessnet, but the all caps "PLEASE," followed by the five exclamation marks led me to believe you were bothered by the question.

My apologies if I misinterpreted your teaching style.

Happy monitoring!

Just who do you propose we set on fire? LOL

 

[wtp]

it is just that some folks that come here really have to be given step by step kind of help.
i have time and have help...quite a few. i have sent thousands of personal messages.
the reason for personal and not here on a 'main page' is that some ask almost the same question because they don't fully understand the answer.
also they will ask one person what they think is a really stupid question and not look like a fool to hundreds.
i have been asked, 'how do i turn up the squelch", "what does conventional mean".
yes i have sent the link to on line manuals, after i answer their question.
and even then i say here is something read if you get time and not READ THIS.
ok time to turn the radios on.
enjoy

Your willingness to help in a kind and thoughtful manner is very much appreciated by "lifelong learners" like me, wtp!

There have been times when I wasn't even certain about HOW to ask the question, and digging through a large number of discussions on RadioReference or re-reading the owners' manual over and over again simply didn't yield the information I was looking for.

I had an elementary school teacher about 65 years ago who was famous for being short-tempered and impatient. I once asked her how to spell a particular word, and she snapped back with, "Look it up in the dictionary!" Frustrated, I asked, "If I can't spell it, how am I going to find it in the dictionary?" She decided my question was "disrespectful" and sent me to the Principal's office . . .

Thanks for all the hard work you've put into being helpful, wtp . . . it's appreciated.

thanks, and yes many have thanked me.
there is always something good in everything.
if you check my bio, i had a stroke in 2012 and got to retire.
it is not said for pity, it is/was fun. (yes, i am sick in the head)
because i am Irish and don't drink much at all (a beer a year on average)
it changed my balance a bit.
but now with a balance problem, i get to feel drunk all day and night.
i am also cheap and this is free.
like i said, something good in everything.
and i use my free time to help others and buy a little time out of hell...

Nessnet:

I actually had this same issue with WIN10; tried to download the NET Framework 3.5 and nothing I did would get it to load. Going to downloads and clicking the .exe file did nothing and I could not get sentinal to load on that computer. Ultimately I needed to drag out my laptop with WIN7 to load it on. Which is somewhat cumbersome since the desktop is around most of the radios on the desk already. Still haven't overcome this issue. So since I tried this as a result of researching and reading other threads without getting the answer required, it tells me that sometimes you must still go and ask the question, even yet again. As stated elsewhere however, that does not mean that you have to answer or even read the new/apparently redundant thread if you choose not to. AS I tell people who get offended by posts on social media...if you don't like it, just like watching TV either change the channel or turn off the TV. Would not wish to impose upon someone so adamantly opposed to assisting.

Respectfully......
Look at the thread... I was the one who answered the OP with the solution that worked. And, was thanked.
Yes the all caps and exclamations were too much. Mia culpa.

Now to your issue. ("Still haven't overcome this issue.")
It is the same problem - did you actually go to Control panel / programs and features / turn Windows features on and off / turn on .Net Framework 3.5 (includes .NET 2.0 and 3.0) / OK??
You don't "download" it - you turn the feature on via programs and features (and Windows downloads what it needs)

Or, Bob just answered someone - I think yesterday that was having an issue with Sentinal.
Maybe the same issue?

The answer is here - for you too ("Still haven't overcome this issue"............)

Why do I need .NET Framework?
You need .NET Framework installed to run applications on Windows that were created using .NET Framework. It's already included in many versions of Windows. You only need to download and install .NET Framework if prompted to do so.

that is from their website.

What is .NET Framework? A software development framework.

.NET Framework is used to build and run apps on Windows. It's part of the .NET developer platform, which supports Linux, macOS, Windows, iOS, Android, and more

dotnet.microsoft.com

and you can go there to download them if you want to.
i may have understood it wrongly, but i thought it just downloaded itself, IF you needed it

 

[nessnet]

Control panel / programs and features / turn Windows features on and off / (enable by clicking the box) .Net Framework 3.5 (includes .NET 2.0 and 3.0) / OK

If you need it.....

What are we discussing here? I thought it was pretty straightforward. LOL
