Strange error message doesn't allow software download

[Phototaker]

Everytime I try to load the link to Logitech's Myharmony, so that I can update my remote control I get this strange error message.  Not only do I not understand what it means I can't see any reference on the Logitech site/forums.

Any ideas as to what is the problem?

Those are .net errors.

This normally means that the .net runtimes on the system are messed up. Normally when that happens I use a tool on ms website that can yank out and remove all the versions of .net, then once they are all gone I reboot and install them fresh. normally does the trick.

But that is if it is the runtimes that are doing it. Sometimes a .net program can be made that it doesnt handle the errors very well and say there is something the program isnt expecting, then you get an error. As an example I just searched for the first part of the error and found other .net programs with it

I'm struggling a bit to understand all of this but if I'm correct this might be part of Microsoft Net Framework.  I can see version 4.5.2 is installed.  Might it help if I were to delete this file & download it again from Microsoft or is this apt to do more damage?

You can do that but first try right clicking on v4.5.2 and click on Change where the Repair window will come up and see what that reports or if it makes any difference.

I tried the repair idea that you suggested but I never saw it report a problem.  I wonder if it part of a problem that I now have with Chrome which stopped working as well.  I installed Firefox as a substitute.  I uninstalled Chrome, did a bit of cleanup before downloading Chrome again.  But it still won't run.  It says that there is a problem but doesn't say what.  I downloaded Chrome portable to USB but that didn't work either.

I'm not a Chrome user so don't know its foibles but would have thought that uninstalling/reinstalling would have given you a fresh version, unless the offending bits remained in the registry.

You could try the free Anvi Browser Repair Tool http://www.anvisoft.com/browser-repair-tool.html and if you click on the Chrome icon in the left pane, you will see what it will reset.

These steps go a bit deeper should that not do it http://www.wikihow.com/Repair-Google-Chrome
