Through a very extensive investigation, I've found out that there are 3 .net frameworks on my puter. (1.1, 2.0, and 3.0) Are the7 all supposed to be there? If not, let me know what I should do.
(No one in my household admits to anything.)
Discussion is locked
They aren't going to hurt anything by being there, but you really only need the most recent version. I never install it myself, so can't say for sure, but I hear that the .NET Framework 3.0 requires 2.0 to be installed. The one thing I do know, is that there are virtually no programs that require the .NET Framework, so if you feel like removing them all, you should feel free.
When I try to delete the .nets, I get the windows installer was not correctly installed or something to that effect. Did a search, couldn't find anything to repair. re-started in safe mode, re-re-started in regular mode. I'm getting the same stuff. Help?
you need to go to www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=7A4EFC33-0343-4EE-BOC4-97B16967A09
this will give you a clean up tool for >NET After you uninstall them, then go back to Microsoft updates and install them one at a time. This will take some time. You don't really need these at this time. Good Luck

I found a cleaner for uninstalls in Microsofts web site. You'll have to go to microsofts web site and look for it. Try the KB928366 link. I found it and it worked fine. again good luck
After all this chatter with no success I went to another forum and got my fix. All I had to do was to go to start/run and type in (msiexec /regserver). After that I uninstalled all but 1 of the Frameworks except one (2.0 and it's hotfixes) which just wouldn't go away and I'm thinking that alabala is right on this one. Anyway, everything is fine now, and thx to all.
I just had a problem in Vista with .NET v1.1 and had to uninstall and reinstall. Here is the link:
http://download.microsoft.com/download/E/9/D/E9D80355-7AB4-45B8-80E8-983A48D5E1BD/msicuu2.exe
Install the program, go to Start -> All programs -> Windows Install Clean Up. Look for the .NET Frameworks and delete them. Hope this helps.
