Hey all,

 

I need to install dotnet480 for an application I need to run in POL. Problem is, I go through the process to install it but it just sits at the point shown in the image below. I've left it doing this for over an hour and I believe it's doing something because CPU usage is showing all 4 cores hovering between 5-15% running this process, but how long should this take? Is this normal? Should I just wait it out? If it doesn't move along and I have to cancel, how do I go about getting dotnet480 installed successfully? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

 

System details:

ThinkPad T410, i5-540m, 8GB ram, 480GB SSD, NVS3100m

OS: Manjaro Gnome, kernel 5.4.23-1

I don't know why but our scripts from Dotnet v4.6.1 to 4.8.0 does never end. After 20 min you can close the window.

Ok thanks. So does that mean it installed successfully?

Hmmm, the program I'm trying to run (Scrivener) is still saying I need .NET v4.6 or higher installed in order to properly activate the software (I have a valid product key).

I will also try contacting Scrivener support and see if they can help as well....

I'm having the exact same issue. I was able to install dotnet480 through the terminal but the same error message saying I need .NET v4.6 or higher comes up when I attempt to add the Scrivener licence info.

Any joy from Scrivener support?

I know this issue... I have fix the previous issue 'dotnet480 installation never stops', however the dotnet480 script need to be improved by someone more experienced than me, contributors are welcome...

I'm trying to finish an install script for Logos Bible Software. I am finding that installing via POL_Call POL_Install_dotnet480 doesn't work. It never completes but the script continues on anyway leaving an orphaned window.
