quick question, does .net framework 1.0 + updates have to be installed
prior to install ing .net framework 2.0?

it sounds soooooo elementary, but i'm not a programmer and my ati video
card requires .net framework to be installed.

There a three version of dotnet currently. 1.0, 1.1, and 2.0 (plus service
packs for the 1.x versions). Which version does your ATI card need?
Probably 1.1, since 2.0 just got released last month.

But to answer your question; they are indepenent, and no, you don't need to
a prior version before installing a newer.

They are also backwards compatible (to some extent), so you can probably get
away with installing the latest version only. But like I said, I would
guess 1.1 is what your ATI software was complied with and is expecting.

I installed dotnet 2.0 before updating .net 1.1 and when I did try to update
version 1.1 they would not install. I had to manually remove version 2.0
before I could install the service pack and security update for version 1.1.
There have been several reports of this problem. Here is the link to the
webpage that has instructions for removing ver. 2.0 and other tools.

Thanks Greg, and Michael. Your insight eases my mind and save me quite a
bit of time!
