The .net framework is different however. The .net framework is a bunch of runtime files that are needed for programs written with .net. Which version of the framework is needed depends on which version of .net the program was written with, and it's possible, even likely, that you may need all of them. -- Ken Blake, Microsoft MVP - Windows Desktop Experience Please Reply to the Newsgroup

Are you going to do a Repair Install or a format & clean install?

NET requires all versions: *they are cumulative. -- Don Phillipson Carlsbad Springs (Ottawa, Canada) I believe that the .Net version are each "independent" and not cumulative. If the .Net versions are cumulative, you would only need the latest version. However, we may need to have version 1.x, 2.x and 3.x as several "other" software require a specific level to work.
