From: Michael Nemtsev [MVP] on 27 Nov 2007 15:48 Hello Paul, There is no reason to remove the previous version of .NET FW, because there could be an app which is binded to the specific version of FW. But you can try to remove, and everything may be ok. --- WBR, Michael Nemtsev [.NET/C# MVP] :: blog: http://spaces.live.com/laflour "The greatest danger for most of us is not that our aim is too high and we miss it, but that it is too low and we reach it" (c) Michelangelo PH> I have several old versions of the .NET Framework on my machine, and PH> I am wondering if I can remove them.

You may want to consider that VS 2008 is capable of targeting .NET 2.0 (SP1), 3.0 or 3.5, So keeping those makes sense. As for 1.1, whether you really need it will be determined by whether or not you have any ,NET software that requires 1.1 installed.
From: Cowboy (Gregory A. Beamer) on 28 Nov 2007 13:51 You have to keep 2.0, 3.0 and 3.5, as the last two are just additions to 2.0. You can uninstall 1.0 and 1.1 as long as you do not have any products installed that use them. If you leave them on your drive, nothing will happen, except you will have less space on the drive for other things. -- Gregory A.

That is because 3.0 and 3.5 are just extras added on top of 2.0 and not really new Frameworks. :-) -- Gregory A.
