.NET FRAMEWORK 4 CLIENT PROFILE

.NET FRAMEWORK 4 CLIENT PROFILE

Postby Beerate » 11.01.2011, 11:52

Welcome,

Well, its about .NET framework 3.5 and 4, WOU only have option to download full version 4 but not .net framework 4 Client Profile - its much smaller and all i need to run .net framework 4 programs, full version is for programming. I preffer the CP and there is no option to either download only 3.5 and manually 4 CP later, or both via WOU. And one more think - do i really need .net 3.5 ? I ask because i dont know if i only install .net 4 CP and no 3.5 some programs can not work ? locically in most programs there is description ,,need .net 2.0/3.0/3.5 or NEWER to work/install" something like that. Just asking :D

Well, the standalone installer packages for .NET Framework 4 "Full" and "Client Profile" differ only 7.1 MB in size (48.1 vs. 41.0 MB, see http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/d ... 1f31ab88b7 and http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/d ... 17111cf544, respectively). That's why I decided to let WOU download the full installer. You can change this for your copy, of course.

As far as I know, .NET 3.5 contains versions 2.0 and 3.0, whereas .NET 4.0 does not contain any previous version.

I know .net 3.5 includes 3.0 and 2.0, my point was - You dont need to have .net 1.1 if You have any newer version. 1.1 is outdated and not used, i just dont know if there is a similar situation with 3.5 and 4.0. I asking from point of view of user who will install new system and all soft on notebook, its not sugestion to delete 3.5 from WOU.

AFAIR Net4 is standalone and programs have to be recompiled to use Net4 instead of an older version.
