.NET

[JK949]

I accidently downloaded Microsoft's .net and don't know how to uninstall it.
It doesn't show up in add and remove programs or Windows Components.
Should I even be concerned about it and what does it do.
I don't have a restore point to go back to before it was downloaded.

Why do you want to uninstall it?

Leave it, its a frame work for many programs and your bound to wind up needing it anyhow.

Sad, but true...

What you are talking about is probably called Microsoft Dot Net Framework, and if it is properly installed you would have an Uninstall Entry in the Uninstall list.

By downloading it, you are not necessarily installing, so it might be that you did not install it at all. It is a 25Mb file it takes time to download and install.

However if you did not install it you might aw well go ahead and install it. A lot of new programs need it since it is a comprehensive Run Time Library for most newly updated Windows programming languages.

Just to check,
Are you sure it was Microsoft .NET,
or are you talking about the DotNet software that is installed with other proggies that can be a bit of a ah heck to uninstall sometimes.
