Why does Microsoft .NET Framework effect panda3d at all!

Sounds like our old friend, the manifest files. If we’re not careful with the build, we may not have a fully-specified manifest, and installing the .NET framework appears to install the required manifest files.

I’m a little fuzzy on the precise details myself. I’d thought this was solved with 1.7.0.

So did I.

Perhaps the OP was referring to Panda3D version 1.6.2? He doesn’t specify a version, and our release notes for 1.7.0 do indeed recommend against using that version.
