In my experience you have to explicitly check the box to install the .NET framework when doing Windows update. I imagine it's also possible that a program was installed that required the framework to be installed. .Exe files created with .NET also require the installation of the framework, and may be included as part of the installation package.

If Microsoft offers an auto-update facility they should not abuse that by inserting or installing items in existing codebases without some OVERT* warning of such. This has little to do with being foolish, in my book if this happened it is downright wrong. And I do mean *OVERT.

I do a lot of development on this machine, and by and large, I | | | expect the applications I develop to behave in predictable ways. | | | | | | ASP.NET has in some viral way changed that order of things. | | | | | | I've noticed in my registry that there are now a number of references to | | | ASP.NET and aspnet_* directories. | | | | | | I've never knowingly installed anything related to ASP.NET on this | | machine. | | | I'm not saying that I wouldn't have, I just haven't. They could have | | gotten | | | in piggy-backed on a Windows update, sure. | | | | | | But here's the really big / stupid part of this ordeal. | | | | | | In one particular application which I use to manage my website at | | | http://www.turnkey.to ( in addition to managing the documentation for | the | | | application ), Microsoft has for some reason known only to them decided | | that | | | this application should have some ASP.NET features. It added the | | directory: | | | | | | c:\inetpub\wwwroot\new epoch\tapestry43e\aspnet_client | | | | | | which appears to contain only 2 subdirectories and three small | javascript | | | libraries: | | | | | | system_web\1_0_3705_288\SmartNav.js | | | system_web\1_0_3705_288\SmartNavIE5.js | | | system_web\1_0_3705_288\WebUIValidation.js | | | | | | These are not now nor have the ever been components of my application. | | They | | | serve no purpose here that I know of. So why would M$ arbitrarily decide | | | that this was needed here? I deleted them once already and they grew | back, | | | so I know they're being automatically generated by someone else's crap | | | software. | | | | | | I've never really trusted Microsoft anyway, but it reminds me to never, | | | EVER, use my computers to store sensitive personal information, for any | | | reason or under ANY circumstances. Microsoft / Yahoo Wallet, yea, right, | | | that'll happen. This time it was javascript libraries -- what will it be | | | next time? How much of my work will it destroy? How much of my life will | | it | | | invade? | | | | | | Thank you Micro$PAM | | | | | | s. isaac dealey 954-776-0046 | | | | | | new epoch http://www.turnkey.to | | | | | | lead architect, tapestry cms http://products.turnkey.to | | | | | | tapestry api is opensource http://www.turnkey.to/tapi | | | | | | certified advanced coldfusion 5 developer | | | http://www.macromedia.com/v1/handlers/index.cfm?ID=21816 | | | | | | | | | | | | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?forumid=4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?method=subscribe&forumid=4 FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq This list and all House of Fusion resources hosted by CFHosting.com.
