.NET Frameworks 2.0 & 3.0

Does .NET 2.0 SP1 include previous updates (i.e., published 7-11-2006,
10-10-2006, & 7-10-2007)? And does .NET 3.0 SP1 include update published
4-12-2007?

Also, would it be advisable for me to download & install .NET 3.5 on a WXP
Professional home compiter?

Thanks for your help.

Usually the KB can tell you what's included in the SPs. The updates should be
there.

As for Installing 3.5, unless an application calls for it, you don't need to
waste space on it [and possible future additional security updates]. "If it
ain't broken, don't fix it."

Thanks for the effort, Gis.

I checked the KB articles relating to both .NET 2 & .NET 3 SP1s. In both
cases the KB# names of the updates were not mentioned, only descriptions of
the specific problems that were addressed/fixed.

As for whether or not I should install .NET 3.5, sorry but "If it ain't
broken, don't fix it" is not the kind of answer I was looking for. .NET 3.5
builds om the many foundations introduced in .NET 3 & includes SP1 for both
..NET 2 & .NET 3; however, I am not a developer & thus wonder if I'll ever
need the improved structural framework.

Regarding installing 3.5, it does build on 3.0 and 2.0 (and includes both
SP1s) *but* it's no point in installing 3.5 unless you have applications that
use it. v3.5 is based on Visual Studio 2008 applications and that alone just
barely got released last month.

My suggestion is that until an app requires it, hold off (that and it
reduces any security issues).
