How do I tell which version of .net framework is installed on my XP Home Sp1
(with all of the appropriate patches)?

If I need to update could you also post a link to the latest version.

Thanks very much for any help you can give me.

Bob
 
the latest version i have is 1.1.4322
if yours is older, it may be because this version is included in sp2

the installed version has it's version number as the folder name under
windows\microsoft.net\framework
 
seth,
Thanks for the quick reply. In that folder
(windows\microsoft.net\framework\....) I have two folders v1.0.3705, and
v1.1.4322. Should I assume that I have the latest update. Sorry to be so
dense about this but I ordered a software upgrade and it requires the latest
version of .netframework.

Thanks again.

Bob

The most recent update is v2.0.50215
It's a beta, but it was needed by a software I was installing.

Info and download:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...8F-287E-4C7E-9A4A-A4ECFF40FC8E&displaylang=en

I was wondering if I have to keep installed all the older versions or
not...?

I do like to make sure that all my software is up-to-date but don't like
installing just for the sake of it. I've often wondered how do I know
whether or not I require (as opposed to nice to have) .netframework. That
everything seems to work OK isn't a conclusive indication that it is not
needed. Does software that need .netframework warn you that it is required?
How do you know??

Thanks.

i also have 2.0.50215 but didn't mention it since it's still in beta
i do believe the current release is in fact 1.1.4322 so you should be ok
with that

Yes, that software I was installing warned me that it needed v2.0.50215.
Usually it's clearly expressed in a software description, and if you try to
run it without the needed framework, an error message warns you.
I think me too that it's better to install something only when required for
running a software you want, or for security reasons.

Ciao,

Ok, thanks, but what about uninstalling v1.0.3705?
The more recent versions will keep working?
 
Note: If is entirely possible to have all 3 versions installed on your PC -
see below:

v1.0.3705 is known as NET v1.0, used by programs created by the .NET 2002
Programming Languages, VS.NET 2002 or 7.0, VB.NET 2002 or 7.0, VC++.NET 2002
or 7.0, etc.

v.1.1.4322 is known as NET v1.1, used by programs created by the .NET 2003
Programming Languages, VS.NET 2003 or 7.1, VB.NET 2003 or 7.1, etc

v2.0.50215 is known as NET v2.0 (Beta), used by programs created by the .NET
2005 Programming Languages (the next progression after VS.NET 2003 or 7.1),
but they are all BETA, so I wouldn't be loading them on my production
machine, as there is no guarantee they'll work correctly when the RTM
version is released and installed via Windows Update.
