Since you have both version of the .NET Framework installed, you need to install both, see also the recent thread on that topic right below.

P.S.: I think the endless litany of useless and irrelevant details aboput your fine computer in your signature is a bloody nuisance, needlessly wasting screen space. Just my opinion, of course.

Sort of like most of your replies on the board Dietmar.  Touche'.

 

Touche'.

Do not use words the meaning of which you don't understand.

i will pass on the advice dude, you have nothing of worth for me or for anyone else on this board for that matter..  Kip

1) How do you know I have both versions of the .NET Framework installed?

Because you have been offered both service packs. Check in your "Add/Remove Software", you will see that you have both versions installed. Which is perfectly fine by the way, although I have found no case where an application has complained about wanting version 1.0, while I have only 1.1 installed. YMMV, of course.

2) The relevance of the details of my "fine" computer is relative to the reader/post/forum.

Hardly...

3) My deepest and most sincere apologies for having commited such an abhorrent act.

That's allright. I just wanted to let you know how deeply it troubles me.  

Dietmar,

1) How do you know I have both versions of the .NET Framework installed?

2) The relevance of the details of my "fine" computer is relative to the reader/post/forum.

And finally,

3) My deepest and most sincere apologies for having commited such an abhorrent act.

Regards and take care.

I wasn't offered either service pack by Windows update (post SP2 update), but found the download pages after reading various forums about them.

The v1.1 service pack installed OK. The v1.0 service pack would not install, message to the effect not compatible with your sofrtware.

In C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework

I have folders labeled v.1.0. 3705 and v1.1.4322

I assumed that meant I had both V 1.0 and V 1.1 installed (I know I have the latter as I installed it some time ago, thought the former came with Dell XP SP1 OEM that has a dotnetfix folder on it). But only v 1.1 appears in add/remove.

Any advice?

This sounds like you only have 1.1 installed. You should definitely see both in add/remove programs otherwise. Why WU did not offer the SP to you I don't know, but I would chalk it up to a glitch of the MS website, unless you see that kind of thing (not being offered updates that others see) happen more often. I trust you checked your event viewer to see if the upgrade went fine. There should only be one warning about IIS not being installed, which you can ignore (unless, of course, you do have IIS installed).

ms .net framework 1.1 is available if you use "custom install" at the windows updates website, under "optional software.." i really do not like the new design of the windows updates website..

I have not been offered both service packs,

Sorry, I missed that. In that case, either check what you have and then download the appropriate service pack, or go to Windows Update and let Microsoft tell you what you need...
