Hi,
If I install .net framework 3.5 beta 2 will that interfere with the running
of the version 2 or version 3?
TIA, David

No, the frameworks install and operate as separate entities.
 
Hi,

not quite true.

..NET 3.5 adds a bunch of assemblies to the .NET Framework 2.0, just like the
3.0 version did.

But it also requires .NET 2.0 SP1 and .NET 3.0 SP1, which it will install
duing the installation. That will actually replace some of the .NET 2.0 and
..NET 3.0 bits on your system. And since it's in beta for now (the RTM of
..NET 3.5 will be released this month) I would wait.

Kind regards,
Henning Krause
 
Thanks! David
