FIX / SOLVED ~ SODPATCHER.EXE hangs and then crashes

skirbthemac

Dalayan Beginner
Ever since I started here on Dalaya ~ About a month ago ~ 85% of the time I would run SoDpatcher.exe I would get the command box flicker and then the patcher interface would come up. After clicking "Patch and Run" the patcher would hang and after a long delay of about 15sec it would crash with:

sodbin.exe
This program has become unstable and must close.

Something to that effect, very vague, general error. After comparing some notes I came to this solution - and if it was here already I didn't find it the whole time I've been looking.

I had .NET Framework 2.0 installed. Everyone else who did not have this problem reported using .NET Framework 1.1. I uninstalled Framework 2.0 and then installed Framework 1.1 and the problem is no longer present.
