The .NET Framework is not restored correctly when you back up and then restore Windows Vista
When you back up and then restore Windows Vista, the Microsoft .NET Framework is not restored correctly.
This problem occurs because Windows Vista does not support writing the full set of files for the .NET Framework to the backup software.
To resolve this problem, configure the backup software to include the all the files and the folders that exist inside the following folders:
- %windir%\assembly
- %windir%\Microsoft.Net
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed in the "Applies to" section.
By correctly backing up the .NET Framework, you can make sure that applications that are built by using the .NET Framework continue to function correctly when you restore the files.
For more information about how Windows Vista determines the files to report to the backup software, visit the following Microsoft Developer Network (MSDN) Web site:
The system writer in Windows Vista provides the list of files to the backup software. The system writer is part of the Volume Shadow Copy API in Windows Vista. For more information about how to use the Volume Shadow Copy API, visit the following MSDN Web site:

Community Feedback System
Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high
and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances
are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back.
Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what
didn't.
Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be
correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each
other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're
not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry
edits), please consult a professional.
Thank you for using kbAlertz.com Feedback System.
