I have the .NET Framework installed on my system - versions 1.1, 2.0 and 3.0, along with their service packs and hot fixes. Do I need them all? Does .NET 3.0 supersede 2.0 and 1.1, or are they all independent? I was thinking that maybe it (should) work like Directx where the higher version replaces the lower one. Please advise. Shane.

Only .NET 1.1 was independent, but there could still be some tools/applications needing it. .NET 3.0 and 3.5 build on the 2.0 base and all are strongly recommended.

So that I am clear on this... I can uninstall 2.0 and keep 3.0 or 3.5 and possibly keep 1.1? Shane.

I strongly recommend to keep ALL installed .NET versions, and also install the latest version (3.5, it includes important Service Packs for 2.0&3.0). -- Thomas Scheidegger - 'NETMaster' http://www.cetus-links.org/oo_dotnet.html - http://dnetmaster.net/
When you install 3.5, 2.0 and 3.0 are automatically installed. 3.0 and 3.5 run both on the 2.0 CLR. 1.1 runs on the 1.1 CLR.
