SYMPTOMS
After you complete a single-image deployment of Microsoft Windows XP Tablet PC Edition, you may receive error messages when you run programs that depend on the common language runtime that is included with Microsoft .NET Framework version 1.0. The program may not start. This problem occurs only when you run programs that use the common language runtime version 1.0.



CAUSE
This problem may occur if both the following are true:
 * You complete a single-image deployment of Windows XP Tablet PC Edition by using the Microsoft Windows System Preparation Tool (Sysprep).
 * You install Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 on your computer before you convert the image to Windows XP Tablet PC Edition by using Sysprep.

The Sysprep process installs the Microsoft .NET Framework 1.0 components over the Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 components. This can cause problems with programs that use the common language runtime version 1.0.



WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, follow these steps:  In a text editor, such as Notepad, click File, and then click New.  Type the following XML code:



 Click File, and then click Save As. Save the file as Copy2gac.exe.config in the following folder, where %Windir% is the folder where Windows is installed:

%Windir%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.0.3705

.



STATUS
