Net Framework Installers

I'm running Windows XP at the moment, and occasionally Windows ME.

I've downloaded the following Net Framework installers, and I'd like to know
which ones are necessary, and whether I'm overkilling by installing all four
of them:

Version 1.0
Update to 1.1 (file is called "NDP1.1sp1-KB867460-X86")
Update to SP3 (file is called "NETCFSetup")
Net Framework 2.0 Beta 1

Thanks.

Darkrats,

There are three versions of .NET for two platforms (if we exclude mono). The
versions are 1.0, 1.1, and 2.0. 1.0 has up to Service Pack 3, and 1.1 has
Service Pack 1. There are no Service Packs for 2.0, since it is still in
Beta.

The platforms are Windows, and Windows CE. It looks like the files you've
downloaded are the following:
Version 1.0 - I assume this is version 1.0 of the Windows .NET Framework
NDP1.1sp1-KB867460-X86 - Appears to be Service Pack 1 for .NET 1.0
NETCFSetup - Appears to be a version of .NET for Windows CE, if it's SP3,
then it must be for .NET 1.0

I don't know what you're intending to, but this does seem to be overkill,
and a mixing of platforms. Unless you're intending to develop against the
beta Framework, you can safely omit the 2.0 install. Similarly, unless
you're targetting a Windows CE device, you can omit NETCFSetup. Finally, in
most cases you can probably omit version 1.0 as well.

So, I'd get the 1.1 install (which you don't appear to have downloaded), and
then apply NDP1.1sp1-KB867460-X86. You can find 1.1 at

Mistake, this appears to be Service Pack 1 for .NET 1.1, not 1.0

It depends on what you want to do. Necessary for what? If you want to
develop, the right framwork comes with VS. If you need .NET in order to run
a program, .NET either comes with the program or there's a not that
indictaes which version of .NET you need.

Thanks for the information about .NET.

I just want to be able to install and run .NET applications on my home
computer, running either XP or ME, with only the basic .NET installation.
Your post was very helpful and very clear. Much appreciated.

I prefer to install and tell other users to install the .NET framework
through the Internet explorer, windows update method.
..NET frameworks should be backwards compatible, meaning that v1.1 should
contain the necessary code like v1.0 had, so in theory, v2.0 should be
backwards compatible with v1.1 and 1.0. But the furture will tell if that is
the case. ;-)

But currently .NET v2.0 is in beta phase, so I would not advice to let this
one install on user machines.
