Installing .Net Framework 1.1 on Vista

[awb23]

A program I need doesn't work on Vista.

Their support team says I need to install .Net framework 1.1 on vista.

Is it okay to install an earlier version of .net on vista? Will it affect anying?

It won't work. Tell their support team that they are monkeys and that they need to change their code.

The .NET framework version in Vista is 2.0.50727.312

I think the latest non-Vista version is 2.0.50727.42 (as applied by the most recent update)

It is likely they are using an = instead of a >= on the .Net framework check:
PROPERTY_INCREMENT_VALUE_DOT_NET_2.0_INSTALLED

but to answer your question... Yes, **IF** you could get it installed it would goof some things up. Very bad idea.

That is correct.

The .NET Framework 3.0 is included as part of the Windows Vista? operating system; you can install it or uninstall it using Windows Features Control Panel.

I stand corrected. Thanks guys.

It's the earlier .NET 2.0 versions that don't install.



I would still tell the monkeys to change their code 🙂

That one I would like to see before I believe. 🙂

I have 1.1 installed with no problems. One of my programs require it as well.

Yeah you can install all three versions on Vista with no issues.

This might be similar to installing games that need direct X 9. You would think Direct X 10 is completely backward compatible, which it probably is, but if during a game install, or 3D Mark install, it asks to install Direct X 9 and you say "no", the program won't work. I think (or maybe hope) that Vista is smart enough not to overwrite newer files, but maybe allow the registry settings to be changed to appease the program.
