which .NET to install with VS 2005 pro

[Daniel Brower]

I am planning on installing Visual Studio 2005 Professional on Windows XP
SP2. The XP machine has all the updates and it has .NET framework 2.0
installed. It does not have the other .NET framework versions. Do I need
to install .NET framework 1.0 or 3.0?

No need to install anything else.

VS has all (most?) of the required pre-requisites anyway.

The VS 2005 installer will install the version of the .NET Framework it
needs, 2.0.

1.0 is not useful with VS 2005, as you cannot target that version. You can,
if you wish, install 3.0, as it is an add-on to 2.0 and VS 2005 can be
updated to use the 3.0 features if desired.

You don't need to install anything other than VS 2005 - it will take care of
installing all the required software.
