Question

Answer 1

The registry change mechanism worked for me after a struggle. Actually my application was running as 32bit. So I had to change the value under path.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft.NETFramework\v4.0.30319

The value type needs to be DWORD and value above 0 .Better use 1.
