startup errors

Deadline

Any ideas what could cause these startup errors? Fresh installation of windows & deadline8:

“c:\Program Files\Thinkbox\Deadline8\bin\deadlinelauncher.exe” -console

C:\Users\scanlinevfx>System.Reflection.ReflectionTypeLoadException: Unable to load one or more of the requested types. Retrieve the LoaderExceptions property for more information.

Deadline Launcher will now exit.

Seems like the installer is not checking for the existence of the .net framework required. I’ve installed 4.6 manually, and its ok now.

Which version of Windows was it?

We shouldn’t require .NET 4.6, but presumably that installer also would set up the 4.0 runtimes (which we do require).

Yeah, i believe those dont ship in win7. Might be good do bundle them with deadline?

Sorry, forgot to confirm that it was win7
