I just downloaded the KB110806 - Microsoft.NET Framework 2.0 Service Pack 1,
which was 23MB.
I hope I did nothing wrong and that my downloading the NET.Framework was the
correct thing to do.
I looked in the Add/Remove and see that the "Microsoft.NET Framework 2.0
Service Pack 1" has several sub-divisions beneath it:
Net Framework 1
Net Framework WinForms
Dr. Wastson
Net Framework ASP .Net
Net Framework 2
Net Framework PreXP
Net Framework CRT
Net Framework CA
Net Framework CLR

Did I do the right thing?
 
#1- I was just a bit concerned about all the sub-categories (9 of them), and
that everyone else who downloaded KB110806 sees the same sub-categories in
their Add/Remove.
#2- ALSO, I ran my CCleaner and notice there were quite a few Registry
entries that had to be deleted, which I presume were all related to the Net
Framework SP1 download.
I#3- wonder if anyone else has CCleaner and also downloaded KB110806 and
had all the Registry entries to be delated.
Can anyone reply?
Thank you.

Installers create registry entries that are used during the installation for
the installation and never used again. This normal and benign. You will
see a string of what appears to be duplicate entries.

Registry cleaning programs are *all* snake oil. Cleaning of the
registry isn't needed and is dangerous. Leave the registry alone and
don't use any registry cleaner. Despite what many people think, and
what vendors of registry cleaning software try to convince you of,
having unused registry entries doesn't really hurt you.

The risk of a serious problem caused by a registry cleaner erroneously
removing an entry you need is far greater than any potential benefit
it may have.

CCleaner is a pretty good program if you stick to its
non-registry-cleaning functions.
