WinXP(home) sp3 and all updates except 1.1 sp1 which won't install.

This leads me to a question.
Why have the older version of .NET on a system?

I have 1.1, 1.1 Hotfix (kb928366), 2.0, 3.0, 3.5, on this system. I have an
dup system, same MB, winxp(home), .etc., etc. and it only has 2.0, 3.0, 3.5
so not sure why I need to keep 1.1 or for that matter 2.0 or 3.0...
I've read as much as I can relating to .net but can't find an answer.

thanks,

L.

All you need is .Net Framework Version 3.5 SP1. It has version 2,
verson 3 and version 3.5.

<http://download.microsoft.com/download/2/0/e/20e90413-712f-438c-988e-fdaa79a8ac3d/dotnetfx35.exe>

Forget about other downloads as they are not required.

You only need it if you have an application that requires it. If you
don't, go ahead and uninstall it. You can re-install it later if you
find that your application DOES need it.

There is no need to keep Net. Framework unless you have Apps that
depend on it. For example, I have a ATI Graphics Card that
uses a Catalyst Driver and Control Center that is dependent on Net.
Framework. So, feel free to Uninstall Net from the Add/Remove Program in
Control Panel.
