If I install the .net 3.0 framework, do I need to install .net 2.0?

[blurredvision]

I've downloaded and installed the 1.1 .net framework for one particular program to run, and I wanted to go ahead and install 2.0 and 3.0 as well. I know that 3.0 was built on top of 2.0 basically, and didn't know if it was necessary to install 2.0 seperate from 3.0, or can I just install 3.0 and be done with it?

Thanks.

IIRC, you have to have 2.0 to run 3.0

I wish Microsoft would unify 1.1, 2.0, 3.0 into one backwards compatible framework and distribute it in one download and call it .NET 4.0

i thought 3.0 includes 2.0...

Well, I've found that Vista includes 2.0 already configured, so a quick update to 3.0 is easily done. Thanks.
