Net framework 1.1 and 2

[Paul]

Hi folks,

I've just finished reading that when you install NF 2 after 1.1, it can
break 1.1.

If you use Media Centre and x64.

And you're meant to uninstall NF 2 or something then reinstall it to fix it.

I've also just noticed, this has happened on the PC I'm on now (using x32).
Both 1.1 and 2 are installed.
(under 1.1 in add/remove programs, its says readme, instead of a site. It
points to repairRedist.htm

Even tho the link under 1.1 says the 1.1 install maybe corrupt, would
programs that require 1.1 still run or not?? I

dont really fancy uninstalling .Net framework 2 after I've just installed
it, (and reinstalling it), just because of some cockup / bad programming.

Is there some kind of fix to fix it. So, 1.1 doesnt get screwed up after you
install NF 2? And to save someone uninstalling and reinstalling NF 2?

In general nothing wrong happens.
If you have installed software like visual studio 2005, you won't be
able to un-install the .net framework. You can do a repair install.

Also, if all the version of .net are installed, lets say 1.1, 2, 3, 3.5.
All are installed. Now, when you run an application which was build with
1.1 vesion, it will be run on 1.1 only.

If the version on which the application was build is available, that
version of .Net is used. If that version is not installed, then the
latest version of the .Net framework is used.

If you are facing issues with some application which uses 1.1, you can
change/create a configuration file for them. In this configuration file
you can configure the application to use a different version of the .net
framework.

Are your really facing any issues??

Umm no. I dont use Visual Studio 2005

I've only installed 1.1 and 2, for the ATI drivers, which require NF 2, so
it works properly.

I only noticed it , when I decided to slipstream 1.1 and 2 in an ISO I'm
doing (I tested it in Virtual PC).

Thats when I noticed, (after the ISO had installed), the 1.1 entry in
add/remove programs, and on the PC I'm on now (I thought I had done
something wrong, when I added the 1.1 files to the ISO (obviously I was
wrong).

I've only installed 1.1 and 2. Altho I have the 3 and 3.5 install files as
well. But havent installed them

Thanx for the info !
