Yes. The Microsoft.NET framework is used by other programs. Different
programs use different versions of the framework and they are separate
entities. IOW, version 3.0 isn't an update to 2.0. So leave the
different frameworks installed.

These installations co-exist side-by-side and do not replace each other.
Therefore, you may want to leave them as is. In addition, .NET Framework
3.0 installs .NET Framework 2.0 if not already present since .NET Frame-
work 3.0 is just an expansion of .NET Framework 2.0 Therefore, you cannot
remove .NET Framework 2.0 anyway as long as there is .NET Framework 3.0
installed. See also (excerpt):
