Migrating from .NET Framework Beta 2 to .NET Framework 1.1

[Sanjay H. Rao]

Hello,

I have Visual Studio .NET Beta 2 installed. I want to
upgrade from .NET Framework Beta 2 - which got installed
along with Visual Studio .NET Beta 2 - to .NET Framework
1.1. I tried running the setup of Framework 1.1 directly,
but it throws an error saying that a different version of
the framework already exists and that it needs to be
uninstalled before continuing.

Is there any way to keep Visual Studio .NET Beta 2 and get
it to work with .NET Framework 1.1?


Thanks,

Sanjay H. Rao.

No! If you check the EULA of VS.NET 2002 Beta 2 you will find you can no
longer use it. As I understand the license agreement expired 6 months after
VS.NET 2002 shipped. (which means it expired about a year ago).

In order to use .NET 1.1 you will need to have VS.NET 2003 installed. If you
don't have VS.NET 2003, then you can install The Framework SDK and consider
getting Web Matrix or SharpDevelop.
