.net framework, I was messing with, on remote cfonnection on my desktop. Window 7 Utimate 64 and Vista Will not DL .net framework, any versions of Framework on Windows 7. Any other ideas??

It's odd how both versions of Windows will not dl .net framework.

I'd be inclined to find a windows tech forum and seek some answers there to sort that first, if it's possible.

(Only looking at it with some logic - which isn't always the answer though! )

Windows 7 has the .net framework 3.5.1 on the disc. Go to control panel, programs, turn on off windows features. It is enabled by default.

I am embarassed to say I had to call Tekin support when I first got my Hotwire 2 weeks ago for help because I simply didn't plug the cable in all the way. I had the same symptoms described so far except I am running on a Win XP netbook. I went through all the troubleshooting steps on the website before finally calling.

As it was explained to me over the phone, the USB cable must be flush or inset when fully inserted (no gap whatsoever between the hotwire case and usb cable). It took a bit more insertion force than most USB connections do to get the connection fully seated. The pins in the USB connector that provide power engage before the pins that transmit and receive data do, and even if you see the LED's on the hotwire and ESC light up it doesn't mean they are communicating.

If you read my post on first page, I discribe it pretty well. If .net framework is on programs of Window 7, it would be listed under programs, which is not. Reading about .net framework, it used with Window 98, NT, to XP. .Net Framework is not supported by Vista or window7. I tried to DL .NET Framework 2.0 SP1. I fet on screen " this product is not supported on Vista Operating System". Reading on Tekins websight, Two Theads on Window7, seems like Tekins had not come out with window 7 upgrade, yet. Even though disabling my anti-virus the same problem.

I'm just useing my laptop with Tekins 4.0. It work well on Windows XP. New Computer (desktop) Windows 7 Ultimate would wait till I return to US, so I could take a better look at it.

You are mistaken. The .net framework would not be listed under programs. It would be listed under "windows features". Its where you turn off things that come standard on Windows like Internet Explorer.

The latest software works fine on Windows 7. Also the version of .net framework you tried to download is not supported b/c it is old. The newest version (not in beta) is 3.5.1 and is included with Windows 7.

I'll deal with it when I get back to US. Go back to repteins problem, he started the thread. His problem sounds like the same problem that occurs with mine. He just really say much about it. I put my .10(cents) in.

Well my problem turned out to be I just did not have the usb cabled pressed in far enough. You really have to press that sucker in there. Worked without any problems. It snaps in when you pretty it in really hard. I just figured I saw the lights come on when I put it in. Thanks for all the help because this thread solved it for me.

It works fine with Windows 7. I am running Windows 7 64 bit.

Matt check your version:

Plug in ONLY the Hotwire and launch the software, hit the "help" button and read the version. Latest is 8.4.1

What is shown?

d.k.vmatt

Yep it says 8.4.1.

How do i get the actual hotwire program to launch so i can put my car in blinky mode?
