SDS100/SDS200: sds100 upgrades

[fxdscon]

Already let myself get suckered into downloading some slim something software from here at radio reference .

What software are you talking about here? Radio Reference doesn't offer any software downloads for the SDS100. Can you post a link to where you saw that on Radio Reference?

Now attempting to install Sentinel on the windows 10 laptop. won't accept it, wants something called NET Framework version 2.0 . What is this software about ?

It's a component of Windows that Sentinel needs to install and run, quite a few posts about that in the forums. Just follow these steps that are in the thread referenced by u2brent above:

Sentinel needs a specific version of .NET framework (2.0). Your computer may have a version of .NET framework already in it, but unless it has the specific version Sentinel needs, it won't run. Newer versions of .NET framework are not cumulative updates that include older versions.

In Windows 10, go to:

Control Panel --> Programs and features --> Turn Windows features on or off (in the upper left corner)

Once that window populates, click in the box that says ".NET Framework 3.5 (Includes .NET 2.0 and 3.0)”..... You don't need to select the 2 sub-headings under that main one.

Click OK, and it will be installed. Then you can install and run Sentinel.
