Something is wrong with net Framework 3.5

Hi there,

I've installed the net Framework 3.5 downloaded from official site. It was installed installed alright.
But then I wanted to install some software and it requires framework 3.5. I checked in Everest and it reads I have .NET Framework 2.0.50727.1433 (REDBITS.050727-1400). I have Windows XP SP3 installed. What shall I do?

Thanks everybody for PROMPT and comprehensive replies. What a great site!

you didn't specifically specify what the problem is.

"But then I wanted to install some software and it requires framework 3.5. "

Does that mean the software is refusing to install because it thinks that FW3.5 isn't installed?

"I've installed the net Framework 3.5 downloaded from official site. "
What download did you install exactly?
