.NET Framework??

L

L.S.

WinXP(home) sp3 and all updates except 1.1 sp1 which won't install.

This leads me to a question.
Why have the older version of .NET on a system?

I have 1.1, 1.1 Hotfix (kb928366), 2.0, 3.0, 3.5, on this system. I have an
dup system, same MB, winxp(home), .etc., etc. and it only has 2.0, 3.0, 3.5
so not sure why I need to keep 1.1 or for that matter 2.0 or 3.0...
I've read as much as I can relating to .net but can't find an answer.

thanks,

L.

Why have the older version of .NET on a system?

You only need it if you have an application that requires it. If you
don't, go ahead and uninstall it. You can re-install it later if you
find that your application DOES need it.

Error message when you try to install the .NET Framework 1.1 Service Pack

There is no need to keep Net. Framework unless you have Apps that
depend on it. For example, I have a ATI Graphics Card that
uses a Catalyst Driver and Control Center that is dependent on Net.
Framework. So, feel free to Uninstall Net from the Add/Remove Program in
Control Panel.

Newer .net framework versions don't replace older ones. If you want to
run a program that needs an older one, you need it. If you don't, you
don't need it.

Now why did you omit the error message you included in your "Me, too!" reply
to someone else's thread? It was very important:
The following updates were not installed:
Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 Service Pack 1 Security Update for Windows
2000, Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008, Windows 7, and
Windows Server 2008 R2 (KB953297)

But in this thread you tell us that "[.NET Framework] 1.1 sp1...won't
install." Big difference!

Wanna bet? And what version of .NET Framework does WinXP depend upon?

Do I need still need older versions of the .NET Framework on my system after
installing .NET Framework 3.5 SP1?

You haven't used .net Net Framework Version 3.5 SP1. It contains
everything from SP2 onwards.

Check your facts Mr Pig!

Correction:

Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 Service Pack 1 is a full cumulative update
that contains many new features building incrementally upon .NET Framework
2.0, 3.0, 3.5, and includes cumulative servicing updates to the .NET
Framework 2.0 and .NET Framework 3.0 subcomponents.

It /does not/ replace any version. It adds updates to earlier versions.

Back in the sty you go.
