I've just started working with .Net, so appologize for what is probably a
really dumb question.

Did Windows XP originally come with the .Net framework installed, and if so
which version?

thanks in advance,

Ed,

No that started from windows server 2003 .

For XP are separated update packs.
The same idea as service packs.

Probably a good idea when you see the madness of the XP versions in the EU.

I hope this helps,

Cor,
thanks for the quick reply.

Tell me this then, is it possible to test for the presence of the .Net
Framework from an unmanaged C++ app?

My situation is this, I have an unmanaged MFC based C++ app that I have now
modified to call on a .Net managed C++ dll for a couple of functions.

I would like to be able to test for the presence of .Net in my unmanaged
app, and then give the user the option to download the .Net framework
automatically. Can this be done?
