Hello,

I have had a new hard disk installed and in the cause of installing my system's drivers, the system prompts me that, I should first and fore most get Windows XP .NET 1.1 before continuing with the installation.

How do I go about getting this done?

Thank you.

Thanks to and for the pointers. Practical checklist and safe steps to get a legacy .NET 1.1 requirement sorted on an XP machine.

First, confirm whether v1.1 is already present: check for the folder C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.1.4322, look in Add/Remove Programs, or inspect the registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\NET Framework Setup\NDP\v1.1.4322 (value Install = 1). If it is missing and the driver installer will not proceed, the usual approach is to install the official 1.1 runtime and then retry the driver setup. If the driver package is just a .NET-based installer wrapper, try installing the driver directly via Device Manager (Update Driver -> Browse my computer -> Have Disk -> point to the INF) to avoid needing the wrapper.

If installation fails, remove any partial framework entries from Add/Remove Programs, reboot, and try again. Check the Application log in Event Viewer for the installer or .NET errors and note any error codes or text; those exact messages are what you should search for when looking up fixes. Because .NET 1.1 is long out of support, prefer getting an updated driver that targets newer frameworks or run the legacy installer inside an isolated XP VM if you must keep the older runtime.

Look like somebody is trying to re-install XP without SP2 ;)

The above download should not be necessary if you after fresh installation of OS update it with Service Pack 2

Sp2 does not include .NET.

Its on the disk if you own a sp2 retail disk (also on server 2003 r2 disk), but its not included in the download version nor is it installed by default.

Check microsoft update. Click Custom and it should be shown under optional updates.
