Bobby/Greg,
Seems I asked a bad question. Or, I just do not understand your answers.
Sorry.
I now have a base Windows XP pro SP3 install;.......after WGA and 79
critical updates.
It was fun! Only took 3 internal Windows Update crashes and 6 hours to
complete.
I know. Stuff happens!
Ok, I'll play dot-NET. Is there a link I can go to and start all over
from scratch with a new, virgin, fully patched, MS-blessed install???
The CUSTOM choices do NOT play nice.
I'd be quite happy with V3,5 sp1. ATM ......NO-Can-Do!
BTW, V4 of dot-NET does not seem to play nice in XP (32-bit)).....
Perhaps my bad.
Best,
Duncan

All you really need to install is 3.5 to get 2.0, 3.0, and 3.5. 3.0 and 3.5
don't include a new CLR--they just extend the 2.0 CLR. That means that they
must install all the previous versions back to 2.0 to operate.
4.0 is a whole new CLR and the installer only includes that version.
1.1 can probably be left off any new builds. There are a few legacy apps
that still require it, but they're pretty rare now.

I love .Net! The positives are that it allows you to do so much with so
little
code.
As for a rebuild, I usually put 2.0, 3.0, 3.5, and 4.0. Not a lot of
stuff uses 1.1
that I have come across. Windows update will put all of those on, I
think.

Some months back our collective convinced me that MS DOT-NET was
painless and may be beneficial in the future.
OK. I bit. I run it on 3 clients. It is here. It runs (I hope?). Still do
not see any
positive or negative effect......................until...........
I rebuild a machine from scratch.
I have DOt-NET v3.5 sp1 on running clients.
I tried the optional v4 DOT-NET during last month's updates. It
bombed/failed.
Fine. I can stay at 3.5sp1.
I've read to being blind about DOT-NET. Yes, I have mostly RTFM!
On a new install should I optionally install the OLD v1.1 DOT-NET base to
start
the game again????
Then I will just let MS Update do what MS Update does......... :) Best,
Duncan
