Microsoft .NET

[Guest Lawson]

Is it necessary to have Microsoft .NET framwork 1.1, 2.0, and 3.0? It seems

a little redundant to me. Can the older versions be removed safely without

any performance issues? Just wondering.

No it doesn't work that way.

 

If you have an application that uses/needs .NET 1.1 then 2.0 and 3.0 are not

to be considered supersets of 1.x

So if you where to delete 1.1 then there is a good chance the application

will fail.

 

Each version of .NET is usually installed along with the application that

requires it, so if you have all three versions then chances are that

somewhere along the way you installed at a minimum 3 applications, with each

of those 3 applications requiring it's own version of .NET

No. Some programs requiring the .net framework require specific

versions. It's best to keep them all. Besides, they use a tiny amount

of disk space.

Not only must you keep the versions you mentioned, for the reasons given

above, you seem to be missing .NET Framework 3.5 - so go get it.
