microsoft .net framework

[Robert J. Lafayette]

Don't know where else to ask. Trying to do some housekeeping.

System uses: XP Home, SP2,

Do I need this software (Microsoft .Net Framework, and more, see below) on
my XP Home system?


I am a home user, and use my computer simply to, well, do home type stuff:
send email, make reports using WordPerfect and the like, watch an occasional
movie from iTunes, etc. surf the Internet.

I am NOT a developer and have noticed loads of software of this type in my
add/ remove program section within control panel.

Various versions of Microsoft .Net Framework, starting from version 1.0;
1.1, 2.0, 3.0 with
hotfixes and the like.

And, Microsoft User Mode Driver Framework Feature pack 1.5,

and

I have Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 redistributable,

Don't know how they wound up on my system.

These various software's take up about 200MB+ in all,
as shown on Add / Remove,

and I just wonder if I can delete the whole Microsoft.Net framework section
and Microsoft User Mode Driver Framework and the Microsoft Visual C++ 2005
with no negative ramifications to my system.


Thanks in advance,
Robert.

Hi

Some programs need .NET Framework installed to work properly.

Thank you.

OK, then I suppose I will need to leave MS.Net in then.

How about the C++ 2005 software?

If you don't have ASP webpage or IIS or any Development Tools/software you
don't need the Microsoft Visual C++ 2005, you can uninstall it safely.
But you need to keep NET Framwework on your machine as it need by other
Applications/games to run correctly on your machine.
HTH.

How does one tell what programs need the .net framework installed to
work properly? Seems like all my programs worked before .net framework
was installed.

Thank you left it as it is,

I have a similar proble. It started when I got a notice that I needed to
install/update Net.Framework.
Went to Microsoft and found the link to download the 24MB file. Now I get
errors every time I start the PC.
MON Implimentation and C?L Implimentation ( forgot the exact name)

1. If I have to have this framework stuff how do I get a clean install?

I've got the same problem as tireman with framework.net. Does anyone know
what we can do to fix the error?
