If you hear about it that much, why not make the script check for .NET before crashing?

It's not worth the effort and testing. People would only experience it once every 3-4 years, depending on when they get a new laptop. Must still shouldn't have to worry since other software would install that version of .NET already.

Plus, people don't bother to read error messages anyways. Another tool I created would create PDFs of the financials. The first section would be pulled from the EPM and the second would be a data dump of every transaction for each cost center. If the totals don't match to the dollar, the script would throw an error.

90% of the time, it was because the EPM data was being refreshed as it's scheduled to do so every half hour and takes 3-4 minutes. So I had the error message tell the person to just go take a quick break and come back. Still, people would email me saying they don't understand why they're getting the error and it would always be fixed if they just wait.
