From: J. O' Connor on 22 Jun 2010 21:51 Windows XP Home, Service Pack 3. The updater installed a new Microsoft .NET Framework this morning. Upon checking in 'Add or Remove Programs', I noticed: Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 SP at 184.00 MB Microsoft .NET Framework 3.0 SP at 178.00 MB Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 SP 1 at 28.49 MB. My question to the gurus: As the are very memory intensive, do I need all three or can I delete two? Thanking you in advance for your advice, John

They are using disk space, which is not at all the same thing as memory (RAM). Moreover the three of them in total use just under 400MB of disk space. To put that into perspective, in these days of inexpensive disk space, when you can buy a 1TB drive for $70.00 US, that's a little under three cents worth of disk space--a *tiny* amount. > do I need all > three or can I delete two? It depends on what programs you run. If you run a program written with ..net, you need to have installed the .net framework version that corresponds to the version it was written with. So you may well need all three. Even if you don't need them today, you may need them tomorrow, so I recommend that you keep them all, *especially* since they use such a tiny amount of disk space. -- Ken Blake, Microsoft MVP (Windows Desktop Experience) since 2003 Please Reply to the Newsgroup
