Do I need to install the option update Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0: x86
(KB829019)? Thank you.
 
That is precisely what he is asking. His question is:

why can't people read the question properly? Who is incharge of dishing
out MVPs to useless scumbags?

You know, 4 people replied to this question and I still don't know if "bill
W' needs this update. I am wondering the same thing. I showed up this morning
in my optional updates and I downloaded it. It was like 80 mbs of stuff. Do I
need this running a home based PC ?

Since there is no way for us to tell if "you" specifically need it, why
not install it and if you have problems then roll it back. I just
installed the updates on 4 test machines and have not found any problems
with our normal apps or our development tools.
 
The original poster didn't provide much information whether he has .NET
installed or not;that's why I asked him.
But he didn't pass more information.
He referred to KB article 829019.
kb 829019 (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/829019/)covers- Microsoft
deploying .NET applications lifecycle guide.Where do you get updates on
that specific KB Article?It contains information about the Microsoft
Deploying .NET Applications Lifecycle Guide. This guide contains
information about how to plan and to implement the effective deployment
of your Microsoft .NET Framework-based applications (Framework
applications).
It depends on him whether he needs that or not.
Before comment think twice.

short answer: No, you do not need .NET, any version.

long answer:

2.0 is the newest version, and can coexist side-by-side w/ version 1.1 (if
you want).

at the moment there are very few applications that require .NET 1.1, and
fewer that require 2.0. But at some point in the future you will
encounter them. Until then I'd wait. When browsing for shareware and the
like, pay attention to the descriptions to see if they require you to have
..NET - it is becomming more common.

Users of Radeon video cards often get "suckered" (sorry) into installing
..NET, to run Catalyst Control Center. If you install the "Control Panel
Version" instead you can avoid .NET; the control panel version works just
as well, it's just not as fancy (nor as freakin large!).

BTW, the 2.0 Redistributable Package is the same thing as the item being
offered by WU as of the 8th of Nov; the WU is not an update to 2.0, it
_IS_ 2.0
 
Please forgive me for adding to the confusion. I am a home user
running XP Professional and use the usual office programmes and camera
software. This evening I installed several Windows updates, including
Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0: x86 (KB829019).

On Running Norton Windoctor, a message flagged up warning me that ten
files connected to Framework v 2.0.50727 cannot access the same missing
file, e.g.

"WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\AppLaunch.exe" cannot
access a necessary file, "msvcr80.dll."

I am not at all sure what .NET\Framework is all about, please could
somebody tell me if I can ignore this message?
Many thanks
 
I doubt very much that you need the NET 2.0. Ignore the error and go to Add\Remove and uninstall the NET 2.0.

Norton Windoctor is another story. I would not use any Norton products myself. I consider Norton to be a Virus by itself
 
Thank you for your swift reply. Following your advice I went to ad
and remove to uninstall NET 2.0; but, my confidence disappeared when
warning box jumped up threatening that uninstalling the programme migh
stop other programmes running correctly ... What on earth does tha
signify? If you have the patience, could you give me a simple accoun
of what exactly this NET. programme does?

Your note on Norton has really given me the colly-wobbles!

It signifies that if you have a program that depends on NET 2.0 it might not work. I doubt very strongly that you do not have one. Just delete it and if needed you can always re-install. But it will not be necessary. Do you have any Visual Basic or Visual Studio components installed? I strongly doubt it.
 
Thank you for your reassurance. You are, of course, quite right,
Visual Basic and Visual Studio are not installed on my PC. Following
your advice I have therefore uninstalled NET 2.0.

Thank you so much for your assistance, it is very much appreciated.
Janet
 
Went trough the same situation as Jane but on a test machine. Will not
install v2 for now. Thanks for the helpful info.

I've been a long time user of Norton, your comments worry me... What would
you recommend as a replacement ? I mostly use WinDoctor & Ghost (and of
course Anti-Virus)

Thx in advance.
 
Is there anything that I should look for when installing framework 2.0? I am
loading VS 2005 & SQL 2005 and want to continue to have VS 2003 & SQL 2k?
TIA
Mark
