I installed net framework 2.0.50727 on XP pro. I thought it would uninstall
framework 1.1.4322 but not so.
Are both versions required to be installed?

It depends on what the requirements are for the programs you have
installed. My programs need both versions & an update.

Ok Thanks, I thought that might be the case. More bloated software from
Microsoft.

yes my software too need both versions of .NET. But then it was the same
with version 1.0 of .NET. When version 1.1 arrived version 1.0 was still
needed.

the .NET "runtimes" 1 + 2 are like the VisualBasic 5 + 6 runtimes: new
major versions DO NOT superceeed previous ones, they install side-by-side.
[1.1 _IS_ an update to 1.0 tho, and should replace it].

..Net's future is still in doubt, it hasn't made the impact they had hoped
for. Unfortunately the Visual Studio tools all default to using .NET now,
even for simple non-net apps [the programmer can of couse choose what they
want to use, but novices typically just go w/ the default, and the books
today all use .Net in their examples (at least MS's books)]. Ah,
progress...
