.NET Framework Upgrade

[Sabin Finateanu]

Hi! I have installed .NET Framework 1.0 and now I have downloaded the 1.1
version. Surprising, when I install the new version, it doesn't upgrade the
1.0 version, but it installs as a separate "program". My question is how can
I do the upgrade?

There is no upgrade. They are treated as seperate "products".
Supposedly this avoids DLL hell, so software targeted towards 1.0 will still
run instead of being forced into 1.1.

If you want to "upgrade", you would remove 1.0 and install 1.1

What User said is right, there is no upgrade process from 1.0 to 1.1. The
..NET Framework has a concept of side-by-side execution, allowing multiple
versions of any .NET product to coexist on the same machine. The framework
is no exception to this rule. If you wanted to completely upgrade, and
force everything to run on .NET 1.1, then you could uninstall 1.0 from your
system. However, I think it's a good idea if you have a mix of programs
designed for 1.0 and 1.1 to keep both frameworks on your system (unless
you're very short of disk space).
