Are you sure you are not utilizing .NET Framework 1.1 or 2.0? These are not cumulative updates. Stuff that was written specifically for 1.1 may not run under 2.0 or 3.0. So if you happen to be running something written specifically for one version of the .NET framework or another - and you uninstall said version - some things may cease to function. -- Shenan Stanley MS-MVP -- How To Ask Questions The Smart Way http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
Guest Newbie Coder Posted July 15, 2007 Posted July 15, 2007 Re: net framwork 3.0 Charles, Many applications are built on Framework 1.1 & now mainly on 2.0. Version 3 is the Vista Framework, but I am beta testing Visual Studio.NET 2008 at present which is running on Framework 3.5 Some display drivers are using Framework 2.0 though Here's a guide: Visual Studio.NET 2002 applications = Framework 1.0 Visual Studio.NET 2003 applications = Framework 1.1 Visual Studio.NET 2005 applications = Framework 2.0 Visual Studio.NET 2008 applications = Framework 3.5 Vista utilises Framework 3. So, developers (like myself) coding for Vista use the Framework 3.0 -- Newbie Coder (It's just a name) "Shenan Stanley" <newshelper@gmail.com> wrote in message news:OVaKu5oxHHA.4592@TK2MSFTNGP05.phx.gbl... > charles cannon wrote: > > I am using Windows XP Home and I am using .NET framework 3.0. > > I recently updated .NET framework 2.0 and .NET framework 1.1. > > > > Do I need the .NET framework 1.1 and 2.0 on my computer if > > I am using the .NET framework 3.0 . should I delete 1.1 and 2.0? > > Are you sure you are not utilizing .NET Framework 1.1 or 2.0? > > These are not cumulative updates.

That depends on your applications installed. They may or may not require these .NET Framework versions. Note that the .NET Framework versions are side-by-side installations similar to VB/C++ runtime libraries: The latest version does not replace any former versions. > should I delete 1.1 and 2.0 . No. And I doubt that you can remove .NET Framework 2.0 since .NET Frame- work 3.0 is just an add-on.
