hello ,
currently i have the following in " add/remove programs " .
microsoft NET framework :
1) 1.1
2) 1.1 hotfix
3) 2.0 sp2
4) 3.0 sp2
5) 3.5 sp1
my question is : are any of these safe to remove ?
TIA ,
D.
I'll give you a "depends" answer.
If you have an older program that used the 1.1 version for instance, then
installed the subsequent versions of NET framework, AND the program ceased
to operate properly for one part or another of it, AND you remove the
program, AND, reinstalled same program and became fully functional, yes you
can remove the previous version of NET framework. At least that's what I
ran into involving one 3rd party application.
If in the same scenario, you choose to remove the newer versions, and leave
1.1, and you've already done the uninstall/reinstall of said 3rd party app
and it works fully with the newest version of NET framework, you may have to
do another uninstall/reinstall of that 3rd party application.
