.Net Framework 3.5 SP1

[WJB]

Hi,

I'm running Vista Ultimate SP1 and have been advised before to always wait
until Windows updates appear in my Windows Update List rather than explicitly
downloading and installing them. Does this also apply to .Net Framework 3.5
SP1? I received an email several weeks ago stating that it was available but
has yet to see it appear in my list of available Windows updates.

Thanks.

I didn't think the .NET framework 3.5 was part of the OS. I'm not sure it
WILL show up in update

Anyway, lots of us have successfully installed it.

Good enough for me. I'll go ahead and install it then.

Thanks, Mark.

Microsoft has announced shortly after .NET 3.5 SP1 release that they
will push it as an update via Windows Update to all end users
with .NET 2.0+ already installed. Maybe it was the reason for the
advice. However, it's not there yet, and it certainly won't hurt to
just download and install it.

I did not know that. Thanks for the info!
