HI,

Is it necessary to keep all versions of .Net framework in one system ..
1.1,
2.0 and 3.0? Or can i uninstall the earlier versions when the later
upgrades are installed? The later versions do not seem to uninstall the
earlier versions or overwrite on them. I would not like to keep the
earlier
versions, if they are not required, and they occupy (huge) space and
weigh
down the system.

Am not a developer. Only need the frameworks because some software ask
for
it on installation.

Thanks for any inputs.

Ramesh

The answer is the same as it was two days ago when you first posted this
question.

And for a minute I thought I was just imagining that, and going senile.
So why is he asking it again two days later? Maybe he expects a different
result. :-)

Removing .NET Framework versions 1.1 and 2.0 may cause problems with
programs
installed on your computer. That's because programs are written to work
with a
certain version. Best approach is to leave each version installed.

Good luck
