CastleLink on Windows XP will not Open

[pasan]

During the install of Castle Link, did it notify you that .NET 1.1 is missing and ask you if you want it to download and install it? I had an issue where .NET wouldn't download from the Castle Link installer and I had to download and install it separately.

What happens when you double click the icon? Bring up the task manager after you've double clicked the icon and check the processes list to see if the program is actually running or not.

I've got a very minimal copy of Windows XP running on a vm on my Ubuntu laptop, and I had no need to install .NET 3.5. Remember, .NET 3.5 is not a new version of .NET 1.1, it's just a different framework.
