.NET 2.0 vs. 1.1

[Guest]

Do I need to install v. 1.1 of the .NET framework if I have v. 2.0 already
installed?

you should be fine if you have 2.0, you won't have to install 1.1

Perhaps. 2.0 is not strictly speaking an "upgrade" of 1.1, it's a newer,
seperate version. Some apps may require 1.1; some built for 1.1 will
still work ok w/ 2.0, it's app dependent so read the app's requirements.

[It's sort of like Visual Basic's Runtimes; VB6 Runtime is not a
replacement to VB5, it's a newer/different beast and you may need to have
both. Unlike VB, .NET is large!].

But, you don't need either unless you have an application that requires
it. Don't bother installing until it's needed.

That depends on your applications, that's why all .NET Framework
versions are installed in parallel rather than on top of the previous
version. If an application requires .NET Framework 1.1 it *may* happen
that you have to install .NET Framework 1.1 as well. See also

I install 1.1 and 2 after a clean install so no further action will be
needed later on.
