What is it that everyone hates about the framework? I've received countless 
emails about this. "Can't you do a version that doesn't require the 
framework?" Those who actually give a reason for not wanting it say that its 
a "huge runtime library". As far as I'm concerned, Windows itself is a huge 
runtime library that every application requires to run.

Even Thief requires DirectX (which is a runtime library itself) in addtion 
to Windows.

Why do I use the Framework? I don't know C, or Java, or Ruby, or Python, or 
Assembly, or Perl. I know VB and I like VB for its ease of use. It allows me 
to do things rapidly like embedding a web browser and media player in the 
application that would take far much more time than I have otherwise.

Windows Vista comes with the Framework integrated into it, so it's not even 
an issue of having to download and install it if you have Vista. It's only 
about 22MB if you do have to download it.

So I can't really understand the reluctance about the .Net Framework. It 
works for me.

Okay, except for the .net framework, can this program be run even if 
Garrettloader is used? I would guess that these are two separate 
programs, so I wouldn't think it would be a problem.

Yes. It does not do the same thing as GarrettLoader. If you use this program 
to move files around, Garrett loader will see the changes the next time it 
loads. This program can even use GarrettLoader's database as well as 
DarkLoader's database.

  Haven't installed the previous version yet. Tomb Raider Anniversary is 
out and that has been taking up my time.
