.NET Forum / .NET Framework / New Users / December 2005which 2.0 framework do I download?
Hi there, Can someone please clear up some confusion for me. I have just installed VB.NET 2003. I downloaded SQL Server Express 2005, but can't install it without the .NET 2.0 framework. When I go to microsoft's web site, I'm unclear on what I actually need to download...the redistributable pkg or the sdk. Neither seem to be what I think I need...but I must be wrong. Which do I need to run SQL Server Express 2005? TIA, Amber I understand that you have no .net development tool installed. I would recommend to download and install one of the visual xxxx express editions (visual C# express for example), so you can actually do something with the SQL Server Express. The redistributable alone will allow you to install the server, but what will you do then? HTH, Stefan > Hi there, > Can someone please clear up some confusion for me.

I am not certain if SQL Server 2005 requires the 2.0 Framework , but, I would bet it does. Just get the redistributable if all you want to do is run SQL Server 2005. But, by getting the SDK too, you also have all the doc's you need. Oh, and as another poster suggested, you might want to also download VB2005 Express Edition too. It's a free download (for the next year) and will help you out when you decide to move to 2005. james > As I said in my post...I have VB.NET 2003 installed... Download .NET Framework 2.0 from the following: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=0856eacb-4362-4b0d-8edd -aab15c5e04f5&DisplayLang=en - make sure that u are running Windows XP with SP2 or Windows Server 2003 with SP 1 and have Windows Installer 3.1 Free MagazinesGet these publications absolutely FREE for up to 12 months.
