On the DooM wad reader, first it says can’t find mscoree.dll (So I downloaded it) Now it says .NET inilatizion error.
Did you download and install the entire .NET framework or just copy small parts (individual .dll files)?
If you haven’t installed the entire .NET framework, that might be the reason. It’s probably missing parts of it or isn’t configured right.
If you’ve installed the whole thing and it’s having issues, I’m quite honestly not sure what the problem is.
Let me know either way.
Best regards,

Well, I’ve downloaded the .Net Framework but when I’m suppose to run it, it says can’t run. I am using a very old laptop with Windows 2000 so it’s not sure it works. Thanks for your help anyway.
