.Net Framework v1.1 SP1 (SR1)

[Guest]

"Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 Service Pack 1 for Windows Server 2003" is
available now from windows update. But still no announcment in
http://msdn.microsoft.com/netframework/downloads/updates/default.aspx

There is no known bug in 1.1 SP1. But we do find some issues on SP1
_installer_ on FAT32 system.

For those of us with customers still on FAT32: What are the issues with
FAT32? Should we discourage users with FAT32 from installing SP1?

Is there a (public) KB article on the issue(s)?

What has an installer to do with the underlying filesystem? Is it because
some file exceed the maximum path length? Where can I find information about
it?

Hi,

Maybe it is trying to set permissions on some files and they forgot that
you can't do that on a FAT32 partition ?

I agree wholeheartedly... This is extremely poor communication from
Microsoft.

The updates (SP 3 for 1.0 and SP 1 for 1.1) are now apparently available as
critical updates from Windows Update, but nothing on the MSDN pages? No
information (definite) about the folder and installation of XP SP 2?

As a consultant, how can I be expected to provide guidance for my customers
if there is no clear guidance from Microsoft?

Ok, I downloaded and installed .NET 1.1 SP1 on my Win2K machine today. Seem
to work ok, however, the Configuration console still shows the old version of
the framework (version 1.1.4322.573 ).

The documentation says this should be version 1.1.4322.2032. Is this a
bug? VS.2003 recognizes that SP1 is installed. There is however, no new
directory called C:\WINNT\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.1.4322.2032, which is
kind of what I expected.

Can someone clarify how to verify the installed version of the .NET 1.1 SP1
framework? Thanks.

My drives are all NTFS with at least 8GB of free space, and I can't get SP1
(or SP3) to install.
I also have already installed XP pro SP2. Perhaps this is the problem?

Hi,

I think that it displays the version number of the configuration utility
itself (which has not been updated) and not the version number of the
framework. Very frankly, it's a pity that this configuration utility is
not able to tell us: "Hey, you're running such or such version of the
..Net Framework".

I installed 1.0 SP3 then 1.1 SP1. my vs.net 1.1 shows SP1. VS.net 1.0 does
not show sp anything.

Also, all my pretty icons for aspx, ascx, etc disapeared. any ideas on
getting them back?

TIA,
Dave

Ok, I figured out how to prove the upgrade took place (outside of VS.NET).
Just right-click on one of the System framework dll's in the v1.1.4322 folder
and look at the versions. They all say 1.1.4322.2032. The mscorcfg.dll;
however, still says 1.1.4322.573, which is what MS's documentation tells you
to look at. Apparently, this dll has not changed in SP 1. MS needs to
update their documentation on this one.
