The .NET Framework version 2.0 improves scalability and performance of applications with improved caching, application deployment and updating with ClickOnce, support for the broadest array of browsers and devices with ASP.NET 2.0 controls and services. For more information on the .NET Framework 2.0, visit http://msdn.microsoft.com/netframework/.

IMPORTANT: If you have installed previous pre-release versions of .NET Framework v2.0, such as Beta 1, Beta 2 or Community Technical Preview (CTP) builds, then you must uninstall these versions via Add/Remove Programs in Control Panel before installing this final release version.

Server Installation Requirements:
If you have been directed to do a server installation, you must have the following software installed in addition to the typical installation requirements:

* Microsoft Data Access Components 2.8 or later is recommended.
* Internet Information Services (IIS) version 5.0 or later. To access the features of ASP.NET, IIS with the latest security updates must be installed prior to installing the .NET Framework. ASP.NET is supported only on the following platforms: Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional (Service Pack 3 recommended), Microsoft Windows 2000 Server (Service Pack 3 recommended), Microsoft Windows XP Professional, and Microsoft Windows Server 2003 family.

Note: Most users will perform a typical installation and can ignore these requirements. If you are unsure which type of installation to perform, meet only the typical installation requirements.

If you plan to develop .NET Framework version 2.0 applications, the Microsoft .NET Framework version 2.0 Software Development Kit (SDK) includes tools, documentation and samples you need to write, build, test, and deploy .NET Framework applications.
