.NET Framework 1.1 installation after 2.0

[Paul Higgins]

hi,

sql server 2005 brings .net framework (dnfw) 2.0. but for a specific
application we need dnfw 1.1. there is no way around this! so installing
dnfw 1.1 after 2.0 ends in an error message saying that "the latest version
is already installed".

we are worried about the fact that uninstalling dnfw 2.0, installing dnfw
1.1, reinstalling dnfw 2.0 can lead to a broken sql 2005. therefore we want
to install dnfw 1.1 after 2.0 without uninstalling dnfw 2.0. is there any
hack known, how this can be done?

thanks in advance, paul

I believe.. installing 1.1 as Framework and then installing just 2.0
Framework package. Then you try to install sql2005 , it should leave thing
as Is.. if not then there is something wrong with SQL2005 setup...

Here is what I did.. and it has worked A+ so far for me...

I had a machine with 1.1, VS2003 and SQL 20005. I installed the C# Express
Edition, with SQL 2005 Express Edition, It installed 2.0 Framework. None of
my 1.1 is broken, all works well so far.
