Vixen 2.1 questions

[olingerjccj]

I was curious if I continue to use vixen 2.1 on a newer cpu, will the new version of netframe work work or do I need that old patch.

Vixen 2.1 needs .net 3.5 to run or you can tell it to run off the .net 4.x framework(I've been doing it this way for years). I have the instructions in the Blitzen preview thread.

Well...I guess I didn't have the instructions in that post. Let me know if you need them and I'll get them from my home computer after work.

That would be cool just wanna make sure I set up this new cpu correct.

Sorry for the delay... here's the instructions on how to run Vixen 2 on .net 4.x instead of .net 3.5. Note that there is no real benefit to do so other than the fact that you don't have to install .net 3.5

In the root directory of your Vixen folder there is a text file called Vixen.exe.config.
Open that file in any text editor (i.e. notepad).
The following lines need to be added to the file within the <configuration> tags but outside any other tags.
<startup>
<supportedRuntime version="4.0"/>
</startup>

so, for example, my Vixen.exe.config file looks like this:
<configuration>
<runtime>
<assemblyBinding xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1">
<probing privatePath="Plugins/Output;Plugins/Trigger;Plugins/UI;AddIns;Script Modules" />
</assemblyBinding>
</runtime>
<startup>
<supportedRuntime version="4.0"/>
</startup>
</configuration>
