BCD436HP/BCD536HP: Can't get Sentinel to work
- Thread starter ve2cjw
- Start date
Thank you, I indeed did not have the correct version of the .net framework but now it's showing I do. I'm not too worried at the moment unless I were to get a different laptop and it not work on that either. Thanks. I'll keep trying and see if anything changes.
Windows has had .Net Framework 2.0 installed, but not activated, since the days of Windows Me/2000, so you'll find the installation procedure more or less the same on any Windows machine, but yeah, the whole .Net Framework 2.0 issue is usually the first, and biggest, stumbling block in using these newer Uniden scanners, which require Sentinel for basic database/firmware maintenance.
Ok thanks. I'm just gonna wait till I can get a different laptop for programming. I've messed with this about all I want to frankly. As long as my the rest of my programming stuff is working I'll take the win and go from there. Appreciate all your help and hopefully a different machine will help this. FWIW, can you even run Sentinel on Windows 11? Am I liable to encounter the same stuff on a new install on a machine running that?
Also is it possible that the installation of different software requiring different.net framework has mess this up somehow? I don't remember installing anything prior to it stopping working but if I recall there was some kind of update maybe. Again, thanks.
That video I posted earlier? It was made for Windows 11, not 10, but it's the same procedure. (I have it running on my Panasonic Windows 11 tablet.) And FWIW, as I have both a HomePatrol 2 and an SDS100, I have both versions of Sentinel installed and running fine, .Net Framework 2.0 fully installed and functioning properly.
hELLO i HAVE BEEN READING ALL THE ISSUES CONCERNING THE FRAMEWORK VERSION 2.0. Reason being is I just firstly downloaded the sentinel software for my new BCD536HP. So after downloading the latest version of Bcd536HP Sentinel . after download it shows Setup_BCDx36HP (windows Installer Package) . So I double clicked it and a box popup saying that this setup requires the net framework version 2.0. then says please install .NET Framework and Run this Setup again. then it says it can be found on the web and asks you if you would like to do this? well the day before I answered yes and it sent me everywhere but what I wanted so I gave it up till now. So I'm stuck on and cant move forward till I have the framework? Someone said you can push the windows key then type in windows features enter and there a box opens but there's nothing but two words please wait but it doesn't do anything? I waited for a bit then gave up. Does anyone know what I have to do in order to continue the installation of sentinel software for my BCD536HP scanner? Please help!!!

Sentinel For Windows 11
I'm attempting to install Sentinel on a new Windows 11 laptop but am running into a brick wall for not having .NET 2.0. I've downloaded and installed .NET 6.0, but it isn't satisfied, just keeps reporting it needs 2.0 to install. Any ideas or suggestions on how to get around this and get...
You can always open control panel and find it there under programs.
In any event, either will pop up the same dialog.
That takes care of 2.0
I've done all this and still can't get Sentinel to start up. What's odd is, my Proscan starts just fine, as well as one of three of my other radio programing softwares. (motorola and unication). it was working fine then one day "POOF". Just won't open up.
