SynchToy 1.1 doesn't like .NET 2.0?

[Guest]

I am trying to install SynchToy and I get a message saying it needs .NET
1.154 or something like that. I have Framework 2.0 installed. Do I need to
install 1.1 ?

Yes, you need indeed. No way around, yet.
Download ,NET 1.1 and install all hotfixes.

Many think that Net 2.0 supercedes Net 1.1. That isn't true. They are two
seperate things and SyncToy needs Net 1.1 even if you have Net 2.0
installed.

Thank you much guys! I installed 1.1 and it works fine. Now, I'll play with
it and see what other questions I have.

Is it really true that .NET 2.0 does not supercede 1.1? I do not believe so.

Of course one can not expect that all existing .NET 1 apps will be updated
to be compatible with 2.0 overnight. That implies that .NET 1.1 cannot be
replaced but will phased out.

It would be nice if the Synctoy folks would update their very useful "toy"
to be compatible with .NET 2.0 as well. It does not make sense to have to
install .NET 1.1 just for the sake of Synctoy if one already has 2.0
installed for other applications.

Thanks in anticipation!

Well, I guess it depends on what's meant by supercede. But installing Net
2.0 doesn't give you Net 1.1 functionality.

It's really true.

..NET 2.x "supercedes" 1.x in the sense that it should be used for new
applications.

But 2.x is not compatible with applications developed for 1.x, so you
eventually will need both.
