Odd error when starting SW

I've downloaded SW2010 x32 and have a VirtualBox VM running Windows 7.  On starting SW in the VM, I ge the following error, right after SW finishes loading:

"Microsoft .NET Framework could not be loaded"

Then SW issues an Abnormal Termination Error and it's Hello Desktop.


This is a plain vanilla installation of SW2010 Standard.  Nothing else has been installed on the VM.

There are people using SW2010 SP0 with Windows 7 right?

As far as I can tell, .NET Framework 3.51 is installed with Win7.

I had no such problems running SW2009 inside a VM with Windows XP.

Anyone know why SW is complaining/crashing?
