Guest JD Posted July 14, 2007 Posted July 14, 2007 I only have .Net 1 and 1.1 and 2. I never installed 3. I see there is a problem with the Update for .Net1.1?. What happens if I just remove all the .Net framework software? -- JD..
Guest bmb Posted July 14, 2007 Posted July 14, 2007 is there a way to determine this besides removing .net and see what fails?

Yes, but what software products do you have installed? How would you go about enumerating every piece of code on your system in order to determine whether or not it uses the .NET Framework, and if so, which version it uses? -- John Saunders [MVP]

Actually, I'd suggest you start a new thread, either here or in microsoft.public.dotnet.framework entitled something like "How to remove ..NET Framework if I don't need it". That will get you an expert answer. Any answer from me would be a guess, as I've programmed in .NET for the past six years - removing it has never been a priority of mine! If I gave you advice on how to remove it, I'd probably miss something important. Good luck! -- John Saunders [MVP]

I'm using the same programs I used on Windows 98SE and I didn't have any .Net framework on 98SE, did I? So the easiest way to do it is remove all the versions of .Net framework and see what barks? Can I use Add/Remove programs in Control Panel or do I need to use the MS Windows Installer CleanUp utility? -- JD..

That will get you an expert answer. Both 1.1 and 2.0 (and their patches) appear in my Add/Remove list so in theory at least they can be removed from there. A more important question is "How can I determine if I need .NET at all?" and I think Ill ask that in microsoft.public.dotnet.framework. Thanks for the pointer. -- Bob http://www.kanyak.com
