I installed VC++.net 2002, a few months ago and according to Help...About I have framework version 1.0 on my machine.
I have a program installation exe that I downloaded and it refuses to install because it wants framework 1.1 instead.
Now, am I safe just to download the 1.1 from Microsoft and install it over my 1.0 setup? Or will that mess up my VC++ installation?
What should I do?
1.1 won't install over 1.0...they are kept separate so you can tell applications what framework to execute against...downloading 1.1 shouldn't hurt anything.
The best thing to do is go to windows update and just install from there. Haven't had problems doing it that way.
No probs at all, I have two apps build on different versions of the framework, so I always need to install both of em on my customers machines. The only thing you'll need to take care about is Visual Studio, I think installing the 1.1 framework will change on what version your new products will be created in. So if you want to continue developing for the 1.0 Framework you'll need to change an option as far as I recall. Cant remember the location from the top of my head, but I'll look it up this afternoon when I got my machine running with VS.

Ok. Say I have Program A written with 1.0 and I install 1.1. When I re-compile A will it get changed to use the new 1.1 libs?
I wish I had broadband! (Currently waiting for my seemingly 1 byte ber second dialup connection to d/l dotnetfx1.1)
No because you do not have the tools to do so.Quote:

How do I set my VC++.net to use the 1.1 framework, it still says its using 1.0 but I installed 1.1 earlier on.
You need to have the 2003 version of VS.Net to target the 1.1 framework, unless you want to do some manual editing of files. It really ins't a big deal from what I have read. You can look around on the net, and you will find info on the differences.
I *think* (that means I haven't verified it) that if someone has only 1.1 on their machine, they can still run a 1.0 app. Again, I haven't tested it, but I thought it was compatible like that. I need to set up a test machine at work sometime to verify all these little things. Maybe over the holidays when everyone is gone...
You have VS .NET 2002. That uses .NET framework 1.0. You cannot use 1.1.Quote:

You have to upgrade to use it.
.NET 1.1 includes 1.0 and 1.1. 1.2 will include 1.1 and 1.0 compatability.
