do you need NET Framework version 1.1 or 2 if you have NET Framework 3.0 runtime file installed...

yes....the .net frameworks actually run independantly of each other....(as far as my understanding goes)...if a program is designed to work on 1.1 and all you have is 2.0 or 3.0 it won't run...or it won't run correctly...

thanks dsenette..I was hoping to NOT have to install the 1.1 and 2.0 versions

the reason I was asking is ..I have a client that can't get V 2 to install thru windows updates...try's to install but fails...anyway I found this..
.NET Framework 3.0, formerly called WinFX,[1] includes a new set of managed code APIs that are an integral part of Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008 operating systems. It is also available for Windows XP SP2 and Windows Server 2003 as a download. There are no major architectural changes included with this release; .NET Framework 3.0 includes version 2.0 of the Common Language Runtime.[2]

the client is NOT having any problems running any and all of their software...and the system runs fine..I advised them to uncheck that particular update and don't show it again...my rational is...if it's not broke ..don't fix it
what do you think
