Iam trying to get an iPhone mouse app working, and after checking there support page, its suggest you to install the Microsoft .NET Framework. See here, near the bottom http://www.mobileairmouse.com/support.html

The download from MS is here, http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...FD-AE52-4E35-B531-508D977D32A6&displaylang=en I cant see a X64 version tho. Anyway ive downloaded, but each time I try to run the installer nothing happens :confused:

what OS? if you're running windows 7, it already includes .net 3.5.1. no need to donwload anything.

if you're running xp/vista, you can download the full package here (includes all files for x86/x64 versions) - http://download.microsoft.com/download/2/0/e/20e90413-712f-438c-988e-fdaa79a8ac3d/dotnetfx35.exe

Without going into too much detail, think of it as a library that applications borrow bits from while running on your computer. It's also a tool to make certain aspects of programming a bit easier.

To be honest, it has a lot of different components and worth having a skim over the wiki article to get an overview.

Its a software framework:

Wikipedia said:
It includes a large library of coded solutions to common programming problems and a virtual machine that manages the execution of programs written specifically for the framework. The .NET Framework is a Microsoft offering and is intended to be used by most new applications created for the Windows platform.

The framework's Base Class Library provides a large range of features including user interface, data access, database connectivity, cryptography, web application development, numeric algorithms, and network communications. The class library is used by programmers, who combine it with their own code to produce applications.

Don't know if it will help but do you have iTunes installed? The error seems to be mentioning the Bonjour service which is installed with iTunes by default and starts automatically under the name of mDNSResponder.exe

You can also think of it like installing the Java Runtime Environment to be able to run Java programs or Adobe AIR to be able to rune air applications.
