Windows 7 - .NET Issues

N3rot0xin · February 4, 2014

Hello,

I believe I'm having some troubles with my .NET framework installations. It first started when I installed the latest AMD 14.1 Drivers. Catalyst Control Center ("CCC") fails to start every time now (I've made another topic in this section with the errors received as a result, will link). After digging just a little deeper, I noticed that in my Task Manager, I've got two process for "mscorsvw.exe" running(if you're not familiar with this, its the background service for compiling assemblies for the GAC after you install or update .NET Frameworks). One is for the 64bit the other is 32. In order to get rid of them, I right click the process, "Open File Location..", then shift-click to open a command window and run the following:

ngen executequeueditems

What I get as a result is somewhat bothersome and probably isn't good. Nearly everything it tries to do fails with some kind of error, usually "The system cannot find the file specified" or "Fail to load dependency <dependency name>" <error code>, and nothing actually gets compiled successfully, and both of the mscorsvw services are still running after every reboot. I suspect that there may be a PATH issue, and it can't locate the files it needs to compile, but Im really not sure. Also, nothing but .NET 1.1 and 4.0 show in "appwiz.cpl"(see screenshot). This is above my expertise. I'll attach the ngen log file as soon as its done running, and hopefully that will give us a place to start. In the mean time, does anyone have any ideas as to what is causing this to happen? Its one thing to not have ccc loaded correctly, but with everthing else failing like it is when it tries to compile, i think there may be a bigger issue going on here.
