MS .NET Framework - installed twice?

[Terry Pinnell]

Not sure if this is the right newsgroup for such a question, but if
not perhaps someone could direct me elsewhere please?

I've just noticed in Add/Remove Programs that there appear to be two
instances of this program installed. Can't fit the lines in without
wrapping, but hope it's clear what I mean:

Program Name Uninstall Command Registry
Entry Name

Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 msiexec.exe /X {CB2-etc-2A1} Microsoft
..NET Framework 1.1 (1033)

Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 MsiExec.exe /X{CB2-etc-2A1}
{CB2-etc-4F52EAE172A1}

Apart from the Registry Entry Name being different, the only other
minor distinction is that the Uninstall Command has no space after the
'X' in the second instance.

Are both of these necessary, or can I delete one? If so, which?!

As you have no way of knowing which one is valid, I wouldn't touch either
one. Maybe asking this in a .NET newsgroup instead of a networking
newsgroup might yield a way to find out what the two of them mean.

Thanks. I've no found microsoft.public.dotnet.framework and posted
there.
