Gman, The updates are: MS NET Framework 1.1 service pack 1 MS NET Framework 3.5 Service Pack 1 and NET Framework 3.5 Family Update. Where do I find out what version of NET Framework I have? Lil ----- Original Message ----- From: "Gman" <gman.pctt@xxxxxxxxx> To: <pctechtalk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Monday, February 02, 2009 4:12 AM Subject: -=PCTechTalk=- Re: MS NET Framework update Lil, The jury is still out on this one for me. I do have .NET framework 1.1 and 2.0 installed already (along with whatever updates there have been for them) since some of the software I want to run demands those. I intentionally have been avoiding .NET 3.0 & 3.5 since I have no need for it. The one .NET update I've been offered in the last couple of days (on ALL systems including Babydoll's) is just about a quarter of a GIG! And it's centered around .NET 3.5. I haven't had the time to really do any research into why they're pushing 3.5 now, especially as a critical update, but I do know that the package also contains previously released updates for the earlier versions I already have. I already have those updates, so I don't yet see ANY need to accept this. Of course, that's subject to change once I really look into it. You're talking about two updates though, so I have no idea what else you've been offered. The one that I'm seeing is labeled as "Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 Service Pack 1 and .NET Framework 3.5 Family Update (KB951847) x86" and is a ridiculous 248.4MB in size.
