i jus d/l ed nasa worldwind. it took 8 hrs to download on my slow 64kbps connection :x
when installed it said i need to d/l .NET and it installed.
ok, i d/l ed .NET
but when i click on dotnetfx it gives error. it says dotnetfx.exe is not a valid win32 application???
what to do? dotnetfx is currently d/l ed to my desktop. should i place it into windows directory or something???

edit: i searched google about this but didnt get solution. i 've downloaded this file 2 times and it gives me the same error again.

Haha, most probably, falshget just downloaded some corrupt bytes and rest of them it got from the file on your hdd. That's why u got 800kBps.

work out calm. look for a fresh ibstallation of dotnetfx from a cd n dont dld it from links cos even if its a MS website there may be problem with data u r downloading as few bytes may get corrupted during downloads.

even if u hav a clean copy of the exe file,i think u might hav troubles ..nasa recommends a dsl/broadband connection for worldwind.... so with ur dial up ,it will take ages to download a single pic /map .
