.NET Framework requirements

[colore]

hello

some programs require .NET Framework 2, others .NET Framework 1.1, etc

if I install the latest version, I cover every requirement?

same goes with DirectX ?

thanks

Unlike Directx, .net flavours are required separately by installed applications, therefore having .net frameowrk 4 doesn't mean an application that requires .net framework 2 will work.

To run all .NET stuff, you need 1.1, 3.5, and 4.0

thanks

is there a way to find ALL .NET Framework versions gathered? with their fixes, service packs, etc?

a website with a list or even better a downloadable file that contains them all

thanks

You might look into AutoPatcher's .Net Framework Addon, I'm sure there are other options as well. This is pretty simple for a running system.

Also, you might get by with 3.5 and 4.0 - I would install 3.5 first, reboot, confirm no errors during the install, then install 4.0. If all goes well, then I would install any additional updates after the base is in place.

Read This! short post on setting up APUP to download the release. Instead of XP SP3, select .Net Framework when following the instructions. Note, the program will detect your OS, uncheck whatever OS is selected, you only want .Net, the first 2 selections are needed so keep them checked.
