>I didn't mean to imply there was a problem with 1.0 and 1.1 CLR on the same workstation. I have personally never seen a problem with 1.0 and 1.1 co-existing. What I meant was that the upgrade process to install a fully patched version of .NET on an existing workstation is invasive to the point of breaking other, non .NET applications that have dependencies on certain OS files upgraded during the .NET setup.

But right now, for my business, the pain and risks are too great to merit releasing a .NET version of our software for desktop clients.

I expect the new ClickOnce deployment in VS 2005 and .NET Framework 2.0 will help greatly in tbe ease and functionality in deploying .NET applications and dependent components on client desktop machines (including VFP COM based DLLs embedded in those apps if used, as in my last Ch9 video demos).
