This tool should only be run on v2 of the CLR error

[Ashwin Jayaprakash]

when pulling from github and loading DotNetToJScript in visual studio and compiling I get the error.

PS C:\Users\misthios\codeplay\pen300\book\chapter4> ./DotNetToJScript.exe ExampleAssembly.dll --lang=Jscript --ver=auto -o demo.js
This tool should only be run on v2 of the CLR

The error want me to run v2 that is understandable, however there is no immediate resources how to remedy this. Tried installing .NET 3.5 manually that did not work.

However getting the files from release and running it opens up system dialog to install net 3.5. Shouldn't this be the ideal behaviour?

Did you solve this issue?

I solved the issue by commenting on the lines of DotNetToJScript\Program.cs

                if (Environment.Version.Major != 2)
                {
                    WriteError("This tool should only be run on v2 of the CLR");
                    Environment.Exit(1);
                }

After commenting on the lines, and rebuilding the solution the program worked without a problem:

.\DotNetToJScript.exe ExampleAssembly.dll --lang=Jscript --ver=v4 -o demo.js
