Thanks JS. You wrote <<> Each version of .NET is usually installed along

Microsoft. Net Framework V2 and others as an optional download from the
Microsoft update site. Thought at the time it may be useful. I'm
reasonably sure that this was overkill and now I'm looking to uninstalling
redundant software just as a tidying up exercise. The problem is I don't
know if any subsequently installed software may need any of the versions of
..NET which is why (coming back to my original question) I was looking at
identifying what may need them. One way would be to uninstall all versions
of .NET and see what doesn't work but that's a bit extreme. Is there an
easy way?

If you have an application that uses/needs .NET 1.1 then 2.0 and 3.0 are
not
to be considered supersets or replacements for .NET 1.x
So if you where to delete version 1.1 then there is a good chance
the application that requires .NET 1.1 will fail. The same is true for
later
versions.

Each version of .NET is usually installed along with the application that
requires it, so if you have all three or four versions, then chances are
that somewhere along the way you installed at a minimum 3 or 4
applications, with each of those applications requiring and installing
it's own version of .NET

I have installed -
Microsoft .Net Framework 1.1
Microsoft .Net Framework 2.0 Service Pack 2
Microsoft .Net Framework 3.0 Service Pack 2
Microsoft .Net Framework 3.5 Service Pack 1

I am looking at uninstalling redundant software and I don't know what
they do or whether or not I actually need them. Any advice please?
