[Dennis]

I have Widows XP SP2 and IE7. What version of .Net Framework should I have?

Should I have more than one version ?

thanks,
Dennis

Neither WinXP SP2 nor IE7 needs the .NET Framework.

Should I have more than one version ?

If there is no software installed which requires .NET Framework, you do
not need *any* version.

While Detlev is technically correct, I find it easier to install all .Net
frameworks (1.1, 2 and 3), just in case some app I try needs it. Better than
taking another hour to stop everything else I'm doing an install the needed
Framework. Note that .Net apps use Frameworks 1.1, 2 or 3 (or, perhaps more
than one.) If an app requires 1.1, having 3 installed will not help (and
vice versa, of course.) The later versions do not replace the earlier ones.

Thanks for all the great information!!!

Dennis - .Net framework is required and you may have several versions
installed. An application that requires say V1 may not function with V2. and
vice versa - for that reason you will note that instaing a "new" version
does not delete the older version

That's crap: It's not requied unless an app you run needs it. Nothing the
OP mentioned indicated a need for it.
