dotnet framework : very general question

Any applications which require the .NET framework should make it easy
to get hold of - but as you're running Vista, you'll still have 3.0
installed even if you've uninstalled 1.1. Having 1.1 installed can be
useful very occasionally if you've got an app which has some
compatibility issues with later versions of the framework - but such
apps are *relatively* few and far between.

Bear with me. I looked at all the framework forums here at
msnews.microsoft.com and this seemed the most general.

To avoid Windows Update failures for microsoft.NET Framework 1.1, I
uninstalled that program from my Vista Home Premium's Control Panel \
Programs. The failure messages went away.

I have looked at MS' Download site and see a handful of Framwork downloads -
from 1.0 to 3.0.

I really don't remember how this program got installed to begin with but is
this the sort of program that I will be specifically directed to download if
I need it to run a program in the future or is this something that should
always be installed. Sorry for the dumb questions, I'm just trying to
prevent any future problems.

Thanks, DH
