What is the difference.

Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 Software Development Kit Beta

Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 Redistributable Beta

Do I need both?

Thx

the SDK is what you, the developer needs. it has the compilers and examples. The redistributable is the smaller version that your users need to run your application.
