Synctoy download broken

Synctoy down load is v1.2, .net framework download is v2.0. An attempt to
download & install Synctoy after installing .net v2.0 results in an error
message saying thert version 1.1.4 of .net is required for instalation. There
is a significant goof here. Someone should tell the developers that the
download is non-functional
 
I just wanted to echo Fred's request. The same sort of limitation existed
for early downloads of the Monad (now PpwerShell) beta until some kind soul
made a version available that would run with .NET Framework 2.x

Thank you for your response; I did what you recommended and SyncToy 1.2 is
working nicely. I did want to share a couple of observations with you though:

(1) I did previously download and try to reinstall the (redistributable)
..NET 1.1 Framework package (in addition to the .NET 2.0 Framework
installation which was currently installed) and at that time the installer
complained that you could not have multiple versions of the .NET Framework
installed; I did not see that message this time. The .NET 1.1 Framework
download link took me to the site; where the executable had a 05/03/06
revision date on it. That might explain my second observation;

(2) When I tried to install the SP, the installer complained that the SP
was already installed and asked if I wanted to reinstall it.

Thought you might be interested in some feedback...
