Can somebody tell me in very simple terms what .NET Framework is and does the average Joe User/web surfer need it? I've Googled and did a lot of FAQs but I've found nothing in simple terms. There were many references to webdevelopers and networking but it is mostly written in techno-ese which I don't speak.
View 12 RepliesI have been installing each and every update from microsoft. I now get the Windows Update to install a security patch for Framework.net. It fails to install every time and comes back again and again to install. I did a very quick search on this problem and it seems there are problems concerning how Framework was loaded and what versions youo have.First of all, as far as I know, I have only loaded a new Framework version because a program I downloaded informed me I need this new version. I do not keep track of how I loaded Framework, what versions or anything. Looking as some of these proposed solutions require knowing a lot more about how you loaded them and what versions you have.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI've checked a few other threads relating to WinXP suddenly asking for password at start, and that .NET 1.1 SP1 is required to fix this. On Friday, I had a crash and had to reformat HD and reinstall Windows, then sent Auto Update to get everything needed. According to Update History, SP1 downloaded and installed with no problems. However when I look in Add/Remove Programs I only see .NET 1.1 and a Hotfix for it. Should I see something that says SP1 if it's really on my system?

View 6 Replies View RelatedMS recently updated me with lots of files relative to something called .Net Framework. From what little I understand about it, it appears to be something for programmers, which I'm not. It includes a couple of updates for C++ which I know is a programming language. Is any of this needed for my applications to run properly or for net surfing? Any harm in deleting every update relative to Framework?

View 2 Replies View RelatedMicrosoft's .Net Framework v1.1 changes the user's logon and shutdown method (due to the installation of ASP.NET and sets up an additional user account).I'm aware of how to change the logon annoyance so that process skips the password check and goes straight into the Windows XP Professional SP1 desktop. It's the "shutdown" method I'm referring.Net Framework has created a very annoying "dropdown" menu option list when you want to restart, logoff, shutdown, etc., instead of the Windows XP simple 3-choice icon option which is in plain sight after you select Start/Turn Off Computer. Does anyone have a fix as to how to return to the original way of shutting down prior to .Net Framework's tampering?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a question regarding my most recent visit to WINDOWS UPDATE. While I found NO CRITICAL updtes for my system, there are 10 Optional Software Updates, three (3) of which are .NET FRamework 1.1, .NET Framework 2.0 AND .NET Framework 3.0 and I find this a bit confusing. It's as if Windows Update is telling me to install ALL THREE updates and I am not sure of THAT necessity!!! I seem to remember reading somewhere that if you install version 3.0 you "will be covered" with "it all" as it is the most recent and up to date version. However, I ask myself...."then WHY do they offer ALL THREE this way?

I need help to uninstall Microsoft Net Framework 1.1 hotfix, (KB886904) please. I have WXP Pro SP2. When I try to uninstall the hotfix from add/rem. I get "The upgrade patch cannot be installed because program to be upgraded may be missing" . I have installed 'Windows install cleanup', and when I open it the hotfix is not listed. Prior to the hotfix being installed on my computer by Windows update, I had Microsoft Net Framework 1.1 listed twice in add/rem, but when I tried to uninstall it,it came up that it was not installed so it could not be uninstalled. I got rid of it with a 3rd party uninstaller. I have also Net Framework 2.0 installed by Windows Update. Windows update also tried to reinstall Net Framework 1.1 but failed. So I would appreciate if someone could tell me how to get rid of the hotfix.
