As far as I can tell, the .dot that is in the cmpnents directory is NOT 1.1 framework. If you compare the properties of the files, they are all versioned at 1.0.x including the ones in \i386\netfx*.* Looking at an extracted netfx1.cab from the redistributable, the files are labeled 1.1.x I'm not quite sure what the use of the cmpnents is, but there is a vague reference to it on http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechn...y/sitpcdep.mspx I'd love to have the real 1.1 framework slipstreamed in too, instead of having to run it at the end. (but too much effort) Anyone know why 1.0 version is there? is it only for tabletPC?
