There is something I'm not 100% sure about.
If we have multiple versions of the .Net framework like 1.0, 1.1 and 1.1 hotfix, can we uninstall older versions with no problems? I think we can but should keep the latest we have ( 1.1 ) and its hotfixes. In other words getting rid of Framework 1.0 and its hotfixes.
Am I right?
thx
Jump to PostAll frameworks are backwards compatible... so yes you can uninstall older versions.

One thing to keep in mind, though, is that the security policies don't migrate. If you install .NET Framework 2.0, it won't have the security policies you set with 1.1. Just a side-point; something I discovered the hard way.
I have also found some problems with some developers hard coded the framework they developed against when it came to checking for the framework. I had a case recently where i have 2.0 on my pc but the app insisted i installed 1.1 so i binned it.
