.NET Forum / .NET Framework / New Users / April 2007Net Framework 3 loads up 2 as well?
Does anyone know why, after removing all versions of Net Framework, and then installing just the 3.0 redistributable package, that NF 2.0 shows up in the Add/Remove Program list again? Can't seem to permanently remove this one? No error messages on the uninstall of 2.0, it said it was removed. Insalled 3.0 and now 2.0 is magically back... SkyPeeper Hello, .NET 3.0 ist just an addon to .NET 2.0. Unlike 2.0, it does not replace the previous versions, but extends them.

It's not a true "new version" of the .NET Framework. Thanks folks.. I thought I was headed on my way to the "rubber room"... Thanks for reeling me back to sanity.

They are done to run side by side and it allows each application to run with the matching version. In some cases you could have breaking changes preventing old applications to run with the latest framework (http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/netframework/aa497239.aspx). So unless you have space issues or other particular reason to do so I wouldn't bother and would left previous installed version in place... > Thanks folks..

Actually, they haven't learned. The release of Visual Studio "Orcas" is supposed to include .NET Framework 3.5, which is a major new version with tons of changes to the core libraries and new features, not minor adjustments to the ones introduced in 3.0 (WF, WPF, WCF) which is what a minor version increment would suggest. Remember, this is the same company who plastered the .NET label on all their products (Windows Server 2003 being named Windows .NET Server until just a month before it was released) and then did the same with the Live label last year. It just shows that the people with brains in the tech groups are totally owned by the idiots in marketing. Chuck
