Forgive these questions if they have been asked, but I have not found any
information about how this situation is handled, and ramifications.
I have a Vista Home Premium PC setup with the .NET 3.5 SP1 framework /
runtime installed.
I recently installed a program that installed the .NET 2.0 runtime during
the setup.
After reading http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb822049.aspx , I now
understand that the .NET Framework versions 2.0, 3.0, and 3.5 all use the
..NET 2.0 runtime; however, each require a .NET 2.0 Runtime SP.
Since all .NET apps now are using the .NET 2.0 runtime, what is / are the
ramifications of installing an older .NET 2.0 runtime over new one; as in
the case I mentioned above?
Are there controls in place with the .NET runtime (or sdk) installers that
catch this situation?
If applications targeting the original .NET 2.0 runtime can still run on the
newer .NET 2.0 releases; then shouldn't application installers not require
installation of an older framework?
What are the ramifications of installing the original .NET 3.0 on top of
..NET 3.5? Will the .NET 3.0 SP2 be lost?
Thanks
