SP1 console crashes on Windows 8 (.net related)

EDIT: *SOLUTION IN MY LAST POST*

 

Hi,

After upgrading my prod environment to 2012 SP1 everything works great apart from starting the console on my Windows 8 machine. There were no issues with this before when I ran SCCM 2012 RTM or CU2. The console just crashes. Looking in the event log I find this:

and then the SCCM console crash message

I've re-installed the console a few times and rebooted the machine.

Obviously .NET crashes the console, but since .NET 4 and 4.5 is included in Windows 8 I can't run the full .NET setup and repair the installation. It says it's already included with the operating system when I run the setup.

I've tried turning off all versions of .NET in the "Turn Windows Features on and off" section in the Control Panel, but that doesn't help.

The console works fine on Windows 7 and on my SCCM server.

What to do?

I have the exakt same error. anyone gotten past this?

[anyweb]

was the console installed on the windows 8 box before the ugrade ? did you try to reinstall the console on the windows 8 box after the upgrade ?

[Tjindarr]

Yes uninstalled removed all traces of the old console including rightclick Tools and sccm toolkit. then reinstalled.

[Iroqouiz]

Yeah, the RTM console was already installed and when I upgraded SCCM to SP1 and installed the new console, I got the above errors

Hey,

 

This solved the problem for me. I had some SCOrch IPs installed.
