“Setup has detected that the publisher of file

I wouldn’t really expect it to run, thought it might, but the first hurdle is getting it to even install.

Here’s the command line readout while the setup was running:

Follow the procedure I’ve outlined below and that sorttbls.nlp error will go away and the game will run great :)

Idk what happened during the last “first time setup” of BGarden in Steam, but it messed up .NET somehow.

Now, I can see what the game’s like both with a home key and a decent machine to play it on.

I’d better not be disappointed after all this, Erik!!!
:p

(Whatever the game did, it totally screwed a few things… Not good – what’s weird is that I downloaded a pirate/cracked version to see if it worked and it does. Wonder if this is a Steam related error somehow?)

Step 1: Try add/remove programs to unload .NET Framework packs.
This was unsuccessful as the PC was throwing error message

Step 2: After some unsuccessful tries to reinstall .NET Framework packs, I ran across Aaron Stebner’s Weblog: http://blogs.msdn.com/astebner/archive/2004/04/16/408856.aspx on this page I found The .NET Framework cleanup tool. You can download it here: http://astebner.sts.winisp.net/Tools/dotnetfx_cleanup_tool.zip

Step 3: Install the .NET Cleanup Tool and run it.

Step 4: Download a new Framework installation file: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=0856EACB-4362-4…
Or 3.5 if you want.

Step 5: Install and run the new 2.0/3.5 Framework

Runs once, then messes up big time – Blue Screen of Death aaand – back to square one again :/

On my laptop, which barely runs this game, it works okay (except the speed/lag).
That’s XP sp2, latest updates aside from that.

My XP sp3 machine, all bells and whistles – won’t run this game citing that error as why.

I figured it was to do with .NET, so I’ve tried fixing that. No luck.

Several people I’ve spoken with on Steam have also reported having this issue with XP sp3 running on a decent PC.

You’re starting to get some real bad press because of this, man – a lot of people seem to have given up hope that it’ll be fixed.

I’m just gonna keep on trying. :)
