.NET and XP SP2 beta

Yesterday I downloaded and installed the XP SP2 release candidate 1 on my
machine and I am very impressed with it, although I had some starting up
issues but for a first beta release it behaved wonderfull. I think it is a
big improvement!

But here comes my question: is .NET with the SP2 also automatically
installed?
I saw something like netFX flashing on my screen and if I remember correctly
this had something to do with Longhorn and .NET.
Although I had .NET v1.1 installed before so maybe it upgraded it.

> AFAIK, XP service packs will only update the .NET Framework on an XP
machine if the framework was installed as part of the original operating
system
(currently only the Tablet and Media Centre versions of XP). If you have installed the framework on other versions of XP after XP ws installed, the
frameworkwill not be updated by the XP service pack and you will need to apply any framework updates separately.

Too bad, since it would help a lot deploying .NET applications without the
worrying of installing the .NET by hand.
But again, there is probably a valid reason why not to do this.

Does that mean that I now have .NET v2.0 installed on my machine?
Or is it still v1.1. Because if I compile and deploy newly compiled .NET
programs... I cannot expect people to install a beta version of the SP2.

>No, you will only get the .NET Framework 2.0 on your machine if you install
the
beta version of VS.NET 2005. I understand that it is also automatically installedas part of Longhorn. Even if you did install v2.0 of the framework, VS.NET 2003will not be able to build assemblies against v2.0 of the framework anyway in thesame way that way that VS.NET 2002 cannot build assemblies against v1.1 of the.

Ok this is great! :-)
