1.2, .net, windows logon issues. wtf?

**Beiss** · May 10, 2007, 11:18 AM

Sorry if this has already been brought up - there's a million threads on 1.2 already, but I've given a search and found nothing like this -

installing 1.2 apparently also installed some .net stuff on my computer. What is this? Also, after installing 1.2, I suddenly have to log in when I start my computer. Why? Why does this patch have to meddle with things that have nothing to do with the game? How can I fix this? I don't want to have to log in. I've used windows powertoys and shut logon off (by activating automatic logon) but it doesn't seem to work. Help?

go to "control panel/user accounts" delete the .net account and it should stop login

the 1.2 patch installed the .NET framework, which is required for the new launcher.

It creates a ASP.NET account, which is unnecessary and causes your problems.

Go to controls > user accounts to delete it.

Warning to you all, alot of games are beginning to install this now.

However after alot of research i can put your minds at ease as it's ok.

What that heck, is the patch installing .NET v1.0 on XP systems? That's the only version that I've seen installing that redundant ASP account. .NET v1.0 is just a troublemaker and no older version than v1.1 should be installed on systems today.
