.NET Framework
Hi,
I am trying to free up disk space and see in Add/Remove Programs that I have all of the below .NET Framework versions installed. I am wondering if I need all of them, or has 3.5 SP1 replaced all the others and I can remove them? I am running Win XP SP3. 1.1 2.0 SP2 3.0 SP2 3.5 SP1 Many thanks, Adam

I just keep them all since I have space, but I've seen others comment that they have none and have seen no ill effects.

The small amount of space freed by getting rid of .net framework will buy you a few weeks, then you'll be back in the same boat. Hard drives are getting pretty cheap; saw a 1.5 TB drive at Fry's last week for $99 320 GB for $39.99

So he should keep 1.1 and 3.5, but 2.0 and 3.0 can be uninstalled. I just keep them all since I have space, but I've seen others comment that they have none and have seen no ill effects. The .net frameworks are run time files for programs written with .net. If you delete them, you will see no ill effects unless you try to run such a program. If you try to run such a program and don't have the appropriate .net framework file installed, the program won't run until you install it. So I recommend that you keep the 1.1 and 3.5 files installed. They don't take up much room and will be there if and when you need them. -- Ken Blake, Microsoft MVP (Windows Desktop Experience) since 2003 Please Reply to the Newsgroup

I am running Win XP SP3. 1.1 2.0 SP2 3.0 SP2 3.5 SP1 See the reply in this thread I just sent to big Al. Let me add another point for you: the amount of disk space these use is small. If that amount is significant to you, anything you save by deleting such files will be nothing but a stopgap measure. The *real* solution to your problem is to buy and install a larger hard drive. Fortunately they are very inexpensive right now. -- Ken Blake, Microsoft MVP (Windows Desktop Experience) since 2003 Please Reply to the Newsgroup

The install of 3.5 includes 2 & 3, but that doesn't make them dependent on each other, since you even state 2 & 3 can be uninstalled. Terry R. -- Anti-spam measures are included in my email address.

Do I need still need older versions of the .NET Framework on my system after
installing .NET Framework 3.5 SP1? http://blogs.msdn.com/astebner/archi...0/9557946.aspx Adam wrote: Hi, I am trying to free up disk space and see in Add/Remove Programs that I have all of the below .NET Framework versions installed.

Version 3.5 includes 2.0 and 3.0.
So he should keep 1.1 and 3.5, but 2.0 and 3.0 can be uninstalled When I look in Add/Remove Programs I see: Microsoft .net framework 2.0 SP2 184 MB Microsoft .net framework 3.0 SP2 178 MB Microsoft .net framework 3.5 SP1 28 MB It's difficult to understand how 3.5 could "include 2.0 and 3.0" and be such a small fraction of their size.
