Help
In my Add/Remove programs list I have the following programs.
Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1
Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 Hotfix
Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 Service Pack 1
Microsoft .NET Framework 3.0 Service Pack 1
While checking through my weekly downloads info email from MSN I saw that there was a newer version, Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 available. It mentioned what it called a Redistributable Package. My understanding on reading the info was that it would replace all the previous ones. Is this correct?. Do I uninstall all the versions listed above and only have the version 3.5 Redistributable on my PC or do I just simply leave the previous versions alone and add it to the list?.
Many thanks for any help/advice given.

Hello,
Your Add/Remove list is ok those entries should be there. I believe that a redistributable package is one that can just be distributed again and again. I read the download details for the 3.5 edition and it mentions a key phrase can be found here I would advise you to leave the other entries of .net framework alone.

.NET Framework 3.5 builds incrementally on the new features added in .NET Framework 3.0.

OTOH...I removed all previous versions when I installed 3.0 (I only needed it to get drivers for my ATI card and uninstalled it after that).
A redistributable version is just a "make easy" version for IT personnel, facilitating installation of the various systems they may have responsibility for, IMO.
In any case, I have had multiple versions on at one time and it won't do the system any harm that I recognized.
