I am using Windows XP Home and I am using .NET framework 3.0.
I recently updated .NET framework 2.0 and .NET framework 1.1.

Do I need the .NET framework 1.1 and 2.0 on my computer if
I am using the .NET framework 3.0 . should I delete 1.1 and 2.0?

Are you sure you are not utilizing .NET Framework 1.1 or 2.0?

These are not cumulative updates. Stuff that was written specifically for
1.1 may not run under 2.0 or 3.0. So if you happen to be running something
written specifically for one version of the .NET framework or another - and
you uninstall said version - some things may cease to function.

Charles,

Many applications are built on Framework 1.1 & now mainly on 2.0. Version 3 is
the Vista Framework, but I am beta testing Visual Studio.NET 2008 at present
which is running on Framework 3.5

Some display drivers are using Framework 2.0 though

Here's a guide:

Visual Studio.NET 2002 applications = Framework 1.0
Visual Studio.NET 2003 applications = Framework 1.1
Visual Studio.NET 2005 applications = Framework 2.0
Visual Studio.NET 2008 applications = Framework 3.5

Vista utilises Framework 3. So, developers (like myself) coding for Vista use
the Framework 3.0

That depends on your applications installed. They may or may not require
these .NET Framework versions. Note that the .NET Framework versions
are side-by-side installations similar to VB/C++ runtime libraries: The
latest version does not replace any former versions.

should I delete 1.1 and 2.0 .

No. And I doubt that you can remove .NET Framework 2.0 since .NET Frame-
work 3.0 is just an add-on. See also:
