possible/practical to remove dotnet 1.1 when installing 2.0

[keithb]

As a measure to conserve disk space, is it possible/practical to remove
dotnet 1.1 when installing 2.0? (This is a Windows 2000 Server installation
running IIS 5.0, if that makes any difference)

Thanks,

Keith

This surely is possible. I'm not sure what you mean by practical. However,
if you are running any applications that explicitely require .NET 1.1, they
will stop functioning. And if some applications specify that they prefer
running under the 1.1 framework and you uninstall it, they'll have to run
under the 2.0 framework. If they haven't been tested properly under this
version of the framework, changes in that version might cause them to
behave improperly. The few dozens of MB saved by uninstalling .NET 1.1 are
not worth the potential troubles uninstalling might cause if you ask me.
