.NET Framework MultiVersions

Angelico_Payne's Photo Angelico_Payne 08 Apr 2008

If I start from a clean SP2, final version, of Windows XP, which of the following i need to install, for all programs to function properly.
(allready know that Adobe Reader 8 and ATI Catalyst have issues without .NET installed) :

1.NET Framework 1.1
2.NET Framework 1.1SP1
3.NET Framework 2.0
4.NET Framework 3.0
5.NET Framework 3.5

These are the modules I install atm from SP3 RC1 as a base system, but it is a huge time chunk, not to mention its goes trough cycle of autoconfiguring or something like that, at first boot after.

I was wondering which ones are not nessecary, or more to the point which ones are needed?

I install following software on OS :

Winrar , Adobe Reader 8, BSPlayer, Klite Mega codec Pack, Cyberlink PowerDVD, Office2007 SP1, NOD32 , ACDSee, Winamp, Nero 7, DVD region Free+CS.

All driver and software are latest, except those mentioned with version.

They all are necessary - needed is your call.

The various .NET Frameworks should be considered as runtimes for programs written using that .NET Framework version. Only you can or will know if there is a problem running a program because of a missing .NET Framework.

Think of it as the various Visual Basic runtimes, or Visual C runtimes, etc that are required to run programs written in those languages.
