Decaf can taste just as good as regular coffee these days. When troubleshooting a question like this, analysis towards "does not" is always preferrable to "would not." --Jekke -----Original Message----- From: Unmoderated discussion of advanced .NET topics.

Given that even your SQL Server 2005 BETA does NOT NOT NOT install the .NET 2.0 framework, just a beta, It is pretty clear that XPSP2 will NOT install the .NET 2.0 framework beta. MS has never pushed beta software through automatic updates. As a matter of fact they would be utterly stupid to push early beta software through this channel and would per definition be fully liable for all damages caused buy such stupid actions. Up to you everyone was taklking of the current 1.1 version of the .net framework. Which - is something we all would love to be pushed out further by Microsoft and which is NOT beta software.
