Resolving Microsoft .NET Issues on Windows 7

Recently immersed in Microsoft's .NET infrastructure in the Windows 7 environment (see below for .NET definition) to resolve application software problems.  In past scenarios, I've hired and managed .NET and SQL developers to build applications needed for Operations within the BoA nationwide telecom division.  However, this current experience involves a hands-on repair of .NET framework setup and dependencies to enable proper execution of key Catalyst Control Center applications for ATI/AMD graphics cards.  Began a dialogue with Microsoft .NET engineer Aaron Stebner to get clarity about how to resolve Windows registry errors and .NET framework version installation issues.  It is important to note that the different versions of .NET can either be standalone, interdependent to other versions, or integrated with the OS -- so make sure to clarify and debug based on the particular properties of each layer.  Also utilize the Aaron's setup verification tool to determine which .NET layer is actually the source of the problem.

Wikipedia's .NET definition:  The .NET Framework (pronounced dot net) is a software framework that runs primarily on Microsoft Windows. It includes a large library and supports several programming languages ... . Programs written for the .NET Framework execute in a software environment ... known as the Common Language Runtime (CLR), an application virtual machine that provides important services such as security, memory management, and exception handling. The class library and the CLR together constitute the .NET Framework.
