Hello -

I recently installed a fresh copy of XP + SP2. When I visited Windows
Update I had a ton of updates that needed to be installed. One of the first
updates I did was the latest update to the .Net Framework, 2.0. After I
downloaded and installed the updated, rebooted, and went back to Windows
Update, the site listed that I still needed the 1.1 update and 1.x service
pack! Doesn't the latest 2.0 update supersede the other 1.x updates for the
..Net framework?

-Mike

No - you still need the older version to run .NET programs written using it.
Version 2.0 will not run 1.1 programs.

This is not entirely true.

..NET Framework v2.0 /should/ run .NET Framework v1.x applications, but there
are no guarantees that it will. It really depends on the classes and methods
configured in the application, and whether it uses anything that was changed
in the upgrade.

If any issues with .NET Framework v1.x applications are encountered, the
appropriate solution is to reinstall the .NET Framework v1.x redistributables.

As for Mike's note, the reason that WU says that he "...still needed the 1.1
update and 1.x service pack" is because he already has both versions of the
..NET Framework v1.x installed and they need to be updated.

But the direct answer to the question in Mike's last sentence is: No, the 2.0
update does not "supercede" the v1 Frameworks, but it can, possibly, replace
them, depending on the applications depending on v1.x code.
