control panel reflects few versions of same programme



Hello

I installed the microsoft.net framework 2.0 service pack 1 (185MB) and
upgraded to 3.0 service pack 1 (245MB) and then to 3.5 (25MB) and they all
appear in the Control Panel.

Does this mean the actual size of this programme in my pc is the sum total
of all 3? If so, can I safely remove the earlier 2 versions and still have
the full function of the 3.5 with just 25MB? Or is there a better of doing
this?

I have another programme I want to remove from the PC which I cannot Remove;
the error message is - an installation support file could not be installed.
The system cannot find the file specified. I have already removed this
programme from the Program Files. How can I remove it from the CP?

I have XP SP2.Thks.

Menk
