Uninstallation Questions

I have what is probably the dumbest question y'all have heard on the ATech forums, but here goes...

On my system's "Add or Remove Programs" I have the following installed:

Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1
Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 Hotfix (KB886903)
Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0


Can I uninstall the 1.1 versions and just have the 2.0? Or do I need to keep them?

Also, what does .NET Framework do, specifically?

Thank you,

Jacob
 
A better question than "do I need to keep them?" is "do I need to delete them?".

The short answer to what it does is that it's a managed runtime environment not unlike java. The long answer is much longer. Basically it runs programs written for .net.
 
Some programs are written for 1.1 and will not work with 2.0. Some programs are written for 2.0 and will not work with 1.1. If you have any programs that list .NET in it's requirements then you will need to keep that version of .NET. Otherwise, you can remove all of them. You will likely need Windows Installer 3.1 next time you install a program.
