Can someone tell me how to <b>silently</b> uninstall the 1.0 framework?  I
have a customer requirement to uninstall it before installing the 1.1
framework.  Please tell me how to do it without having to go through the
Control Panel.

Thanks!

Hello.

I understand that you would like to remove the .NET Framework 1.0 silently,
that is, without using the control panel.

Add/Remove programs gets its .NET Framework 1.0 entry from the following
registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\Micro
soft .NET Framework Full v1.0.3705 (1033)

The value of that "UninstallString" subkey is the command that Add/Remove
Programs runs when you elect to uninstall via Add/Remove Programs.  Mine
looks like this:
"UninstallString"="E:\\WINDOWS\\Microsoft.NET\\Framework\\Install.exe /u /p
Microsoft .NET Framework Full v1.0.3705 (1033)"

You should be able to uninstall silently by executing the same command but
with "/q" appended to it.  You'll also need to convert any double-slashes
into single-slashes in any directory paths.  In my case, the command would
look like this:
E:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\Install.exe /u /p Microsoft .NET
Framework Full v1.0.3705 (1033) /q

Note that the "1033" references above mean that this is the English version
of the .NET Framework 1.0 on my machine.  If your version is non-English
then each of those references should be different.

See if that works.

Cheers!
