Hi Experts,
I have a fresh Vista Ultimate which is installed with:-
1.) .Net Compact Framework 1.0 SP3 Developer
2.) .Net Compact Framework 2.0
I was trying to install .net 3.0 redist package which I downloaded from http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=10CC340B-F857-4A14-83F5-25634C3BF043&displaylang=en , it prompts me the error that I need Window XP SP 2 in order to install it.
I have run through the guide on the internet and noticed the following statements:-
Software Requirements
To install Microsoft .NET Framework 3.0, one of the following operating systems must be installed on the target computer:
- Microsoft Windows XP Home or Microsoft Windows XP Professional, both with Service Pack 2 or later.
- Microsoft Windows Server 2003 family with Service Pack 1 or later.
For Microsoft Windows Vista (not including the IA64 platform) and Microsoft Windows Server code-named "Longhorn" IA64 Edition, .NET Framework 3.0 is a feature of the operating system.
Does this mean I do not need to install 3.0 ? and go straight to 3.5? and it will not appear in the list of Programs and Features?
Regards,
Chris
