Hello Group -
Wondering if I should install .NET 2.0 and if so, should I install it
over 1.1 or remove 1.1 first.
First, note that they are separate. The .NET Framework 2.0 doesn't replace
1.1, so do not remove 1.1 first.
The .net framework is a runtime file needed to run programs written with
..net. It's roughly analogous to the old vbrunXXX.dll files needed to run
programs written in Visual Basic. Just as with Visual Basic, the various
versions are separate; for a vb 5 prgram, you needed the vbrun 5 file and
not the vbrun 6 file, and with .NET, to run a .NET 1,1 program, you need the
..net 1.1 file, not the 2.0. Because .net is relatively new, there aren't yet
a lot of programs that use it. Even if you don't run any of these programs
now, it's likely that you will soon, so my recommendation is that you might
as well get and keep both of these, so they will be there when you need
them.
