question about aspnet 3.5 and IIS 5.1

[Bob]

Hi,

We still use windows xp sp2 with IIS 5.1.
Can we install .Net framework 3.5 in order to use asp.net 3.5?

Thanks
Bob

Hi,

first of all there really is no asp.net 3.5. .NET 3.5 is .NET 2.0 CLR (with
some updates) plus 3.x add-on libraries. So what you have is really ASP.NET
2.0 with minor updates. And as you know, it works fine in XP.
