As luck would have it, I just installed a fresh machine with Windows XP, did all the auto-updates, then added the network/many computers version of XPSP2. Immediately thereaftere, I did a full install of the SQL Server 2005 Beta and got to watch it do a fresh install of the .net 2.0 runtime.
So, unless the SQL Server installer is working incorrectly (improbable, but not inconceivable,) XPSP2 didn't install the 2.0 framework. --Jekke -----Original Message----- From: Unmoderated discussion of advanced .NET topics.

I can't give any authoritive answers, but I have the following data points: - It does *not* contain any 1.1 bits - It contains updates for the 1.0 bits (1.0.3705.6018) - A slipstream install of Windows XP SP2 does *not* install the framework Regards, Jeroen =================================== This list is hosted by DevelopMentor(r) http://www.develop.com Some .NET courses you may be interested in: Essential .NET: building applications and components with CSharp August 30 - September 3, in Los Angeles http://www.develop.com/courses/edotnet View archives and manage your subscription(s) at http://discuss.develop.com =================================== This list is hosted by DevelopMentorŪ http://www.develop.com Some .NET courses you may be interested in: Essential .NET: building applications and components with CSharp August 30 - September 3, in Los Angeles http://www.develop.com/courses/edotnet View archives and manage your subscription(s) at http://discuss.develop.com
