The date and time was 6/5/2008 6:56 AM, and on a whim, Menikos pounded out on the keyboard:
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.

Hi Menk,
If you removed the program from the Program Files, then the required files needed to uninstall may be missing now. I would reinstall the program and then remove it from Add/Remove Programs. If you no longer have the program, you can remove the entry using the registry (last resort), but by not uninstalling it properly, you have possibly left remnants of the program files and registry entries on your hard drive.
You other question was answered so no need to expound on that further.
