The latest versions of WinTV and Microsoft .Net Framework do not work with each other.

I downloaded the latest and greatest .Net Framework V. 4 and now the most recent version of WinTV V7 gives a Net Framework initialization error.

I could solve this problem by uninstalling V4 .Net Framework and finding ancient .Net Framework 1 or 2 and install that -- but I don't want to. That seems ridiculous to me.

What software alternative to WinTV is there? I want to continue to use the Hauppauge WinTV hardware (USB stick) with a better software. Are there any suggestions?
