Newer than 1.1

I am using windowsxp, of the .Net Framework have Version 1.0.0.0 but is
there anything newer that I should have installed ? Forexample I see there
are service packs 2 available, how do I know If I need that one?

If nothing you have installed *asks* for a newer version of the .NET
Framework - then you do not *need* a newer version of the .NET Framework.
Also - note that the versions of the .NET Framework are *not* cumulative.
If you have 2.0 - you may still need 1.1 and if you have 3.0, you may still
need 2.0 and 1.1...

- Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1
- Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0
- Microsoft .NET Framework 3.0

There are also patches for each of those.

If you want to get really confused:

Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...DisplayLang=en

Which going by it's description - replaces .NET Framework 2.0 with SP1 and
..NET Framework 3.0.

"Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 contains many new features building
incrementally upon .NET Framework 2.0 and 3.0, and includes .NET Framework
2.0 service pack 1 and .NET Framework 3.0 service pack 1."

Of course - perhaps I am mis-interpretting what it means and even if you
have .NET Framework 3.5 - you still need the .NET Framework 2.0 and 3.0...
Anyone?

Nope, .NET Framework 3.5 is based on and including .NET Framework 3.0 which
was/is an superset of .NET Framework 2.0 with some addition -ehm- features.
..NET Framework 2.0 is included in .NET Framework 3.0 - and .NET Framework 3.5
included .NET Framework 2.0 SP1 and .NET Framework 3.0.

Don't ask me, why simple things are beeing made so complicated by MS.

The different versions of .Net Framework are separate and not directly
related.
Installing one version, does not mean you should install another.

However if you install a version, you should install any Service Packs
or updates for that version to help make sure that version is secure.

If you need another version, more than likely the program will say so
and/or direct you to the Microsoft download site.

Because the left hand doesn't know the right hand exists ? <w>
Frankly speaking, I'm going .NUTZ over .NET installation issues.
