Upgrading from .NET Framework 1.1 to 2.0

[therod]

I am running Windows Server 2003 SP1 and .Net Framework 1.1

I want to upgrade to .Net 2.0 and I'm pretty sure I should uninstall
1.1 first. Problem is that .NET 1.1 doesn't show up in Control
Panel->Add Remove Programs.

Anyone know the correct way to upgrade to .NET 2.0?

Why? They can live side-by-side with no problems.

Just install it - don't worry about 1.1.

TheRod,

I would not remove framework Net 1.1 yet, there is some backward
incompatibility in version 2.0.

At least I would wait on SP1 and see if those incompatibilites are solved.

Just my idea,

Cor

Hi Tom,

You don't need to uninstall .Net Framework 1.1, and in fact, you should
leave it alone unless you need to due to space limitations. Framework 2.0
coexists with Framework 1.1.

If you have Framework 1.1 installed, there should be a 'Microsoft .NET
Framework 1.1' entry in your Add/Remove Programs, if you can't find it, I
suspect you don't have it installed. I'm not sure if Windows 2003 has
this option as it includes Framework 1.1, in that case, don't worry about
having 1.1 installed.

The only thing you need to consider is web applications using ASP.NET
1.1. If you have some of those and don't want them to be upgraded to 2.0
use the noaspugrade when installing .Net 2.0.

Hi Tom,

You do not get the options because Win 2003 come 'built-in' with
framework 1.1

I have checked, you do not even get the option to remove it from the
Add/Remove Windows Components. So i guess it's part of the OS.

However, as the others said, you do NOT need to remove it. You can
easily set to use either Framework 1.1 or Framework 2.0 from your IIS (
for asp.net). I have done that, and no problem or watsoever (so far)


Regards,
Infinity

Thanks to all of you dotnetters for your help! I couldn't find the
answer to my question in any manuals. Thanks again for your help.

..NET 1.1 is part of Win2K3 so you will not see it in Add/remove programs,
you will see it in Windows Components and can remove it from there.

Just install .NET 2.0 and hope all goes well -- if your a system integrator
and your trying to establish OS builds with .NET 2.0, good luck, you'll need
it. It's such a nightmare, many OS builders are say wait for Vista.

Documentation -- trust me, even if there was documentation from M$, it would
NOT be accurate -- I'm convinenced this is part of M$ "security policy" --
keep everyone guessing and provide false or no documentation, that should
stall hackers for a few days.

Here's a good question for you.....

I've reviewed your info on the MS Website regarding the
MICROSOFT.NET\Framework issues I have a problem installing my HP OfficeJet
7310 printer regarding this issue. I was on the phone with HP Tech Support
(in New Delhi, India) and after (2) "glorious hours" attempting to install
this printer (Step 3 of 4 at 14% I was only at 67Kbs/sec. download time).
I've attempted installing this HP Printer (3) times....uninstall, reboot,
install .... error.....uninstall, reboot....etc.

JUST when I think I've fixed this issue the HP Tech Support tells me that
the download time is TOO SLOW and to stop the installation. After much
troubleshooting he directed me toward the errors page (in the MS Directory)
and stated it was a NETFX.MSI file so......

I went to MicroSoft Website and downloaded this file and I get this error
(below):
=======================
Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 Setup
Error 25013 failed to install assembly
C:/windows/microsoft.net/framework/v2.0.50727/microsoft.vsa.dll because
strong name signature couldn't be verified. Was the assembly built
delay-signed?
========================

Where does "strong name signature couldn't be verified?" Was the assembly
built delay signed? (I have no idea what this means.

Secondly, I get an Error I get when I tried to install the .Net Framework
2.0 and the reporting details state:
=========================
This error report includes information regarding the condition of
SETUP.exe when the problem occured. The operating system version and
computer hardware in use your digital product ID which could be used to
identify your license and the IP address of your computer.
==================
(OK....what does this mean?)

Is this NET FRAMEWORK (2.0) really necessary to HP OfficeJet 7310 (All in
One) printer?
I've gone to my directory:
C:/windows/microsoft.net/framework
Under my director I see these folders .......
=========================
v1.0.3705
v1.1.4322
v2.0.50727

I see the V2.0.50727 file but because of the error when I've tried to run
the SETUP.exe file for dotnetfx 2.0 (.exe) and I keep getting errors on this.
Your help and assistance would be greatly appreciated.

I should DELETE the v2.0.50727 folder in this directory since it only has
(4) items in it and it didn't complete the install.

I inserted my original WINDOWS XP PRO (CD) and copied the DOTNETFIX on the
desktop but I don't want to run it (yet) because it's only v1.1.4322.573 set
up.
The current verison I have in my folder now is v1.1.4322.

The v1.1.4322.573 set up that I copied from my WINXP Pro CD appears to be
the NEW extension versus the one that's currently in my folder? How could
that be?

I look forward to your diligent assistance in this matter (Soon!).
Thanks!
Bill
