Matthew, As I recall it, the .NET Framework is located in the "Recommended Updates" section (at least in the W2K updater) and is turned on by default. The common mistake is to install all the "Critical Updates" without looking, then install all the "Recommended Updates" without looking.
Suddenly you find yourself with things such as .NET Framework, beta version of Media Player, Journal Reader, Euro Converter, etc. ;-) -Novak ----- Original Message ----- From: "Matthew Small" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "CF-Talk" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, January 16, 2003 6:40 AM Subject: RE: What's wrong with ASP.NET > In my experience you have to explicitly check the box to install the > .NET framework when doing Windows update.
