    Exclamation which .Net Framework to Keep in Windows XP

    Hi,

    I have Windows XP with SP3 and I have different versions of .Net Framework installed on my PC with microsoft update as in the attachment.

    I just wanted to know what to keep and what to uninstall.

    I have no idea about this .Net Framework and would appreciate a quick response from any of the gurus here as which version to keep and which ones I can uninstall without an issue.

    Look ofrward to your quick response and thanks much in advance.

    Regards

    Re: which .Net Framework to Keep in Windows XP

    Not that simple.... 3.5 is built upon 3.0. 3.0 was built upon 2.0 .... so to run a FW3.5 app, you need 3.5, 3.0 and 2.0 If you only run 3.0 apps, then you need 3.0 and 2.0 and in theory could remove 3.5.

    But then comes the question, why remove any of them?
