Downgrade from .Net 2.0 with sp1 to .Net 2.0 without sp1

[incrediblesuperdude]

Hi everybody,

I have a problem with a bug in the sp1 of .Net 2.0 which is reported
on this page:
https://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/feedback/ViewFeedback.aspx...


Because of this a program I am using is not functioning well because
of it:
mscorlib.dll 2.0.50727.832 on the system without the service pack is
working correctly.
mscorlib.dll 2.0.50727.1433 on the system with service pack 1 is not
working correctly.


I now would like to downgrade my version of .Net 2.0 to the 832 dll,
but how do i do this?
I have already tried the following:
1. Uninstall .Net framework 2.0 sp1 from my machine to install .Net
2.0 without sp1 failed, because i could not uninstall .net 2.0 sp1
because of dependencies
2. I tried overcopying mscorlib.dll in C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET
\Framework\v2.0.50727 with the previous version, which I copied from
another pc. The mscorlib.dll was actually not replaced, I got the
same
problem.


Does anyone have an idea how to do this?


Kind regards,
Gerben

We need the Feedback ID in the connect URL, it's impossible to find the
article you are referring to without the ID.
That said it's impossible to downgrade if you have VS2008 installed,
installing VS2008 installs the Framework v3.5 and v3.0 SP1, both depend on
2.0 SP1.
A Framework is more than a single DLL, it's a complete set of modules witch
depends on each other.

There is an system rollback function in XP if activated that can take
the system back to a previos state.

Hi,

The bug is first reported here http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=2563611&SiteID=1

Below you find the link I wanted to post.

I have visual studio 2008 installed, I'll try to uninstall that first.

Thanks for the advice.

Kind regards,
