Guest Milt Posted July 12, 2007 Posted July 12, 2007 Re: .NET Framework I have Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 and Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 Hotfix (KB886903) installed on my Win XP Home SP 2 Dell 8200 X 86 computer. But I do not have .NET 2.0 or .NET 3.0 installed. Is there any reason I should install either or both of them? (I'm not aware of any problems due to not having them installed.) Thanks, Milt

You would only need to install .NET 2.0 or .NET 3.0 if you installed an application that required those newer versions of the framework. The application installer should inform you of that dependency, including instructions on how to install. So I wouldn't worry about installing the newer versions until such time as you are using an application that requires the newer versions. -- Tom Porterfield
