.net framework requirement for Office PIA

Hi,

I am using Office PrimaryInterop Assemblies in my project. The download link for Office 2003/2007 PIA states that .net framework 1.1 is required for using it.

Can someone tell me if .net 1.1 is a minimum requirement? meaning, 1.1 or any later version like 2.0, 3.5 will also work? OR One needs to have 1.1 installed irrespective of whatever higher version of .net framework is installed.

Thanks,

Raghvendra

Hello,

If it states that .net framework 1.1 is required, yes, you have to have it installed before irrespective of whatever higher version of .net framework is installed.

One thing to be aware of is that the relationship of the .NET Framework versions 2.0, 3.0, and 3.5 differs from the relationship of versions 1.0, 1.1, and 2.0. The .NET Framework versions 1.0, 1.1, and 2.0 are completely separate from each other, and one version can be present on a computer regardless of whether the other versions are present. When versions 1.0, 1.1, and 2.0 are on the same computer, each version has its own common language runtime, class libraries, compiler, and so forth. Application developers can choose which version to target.

So, .NET Framework 2.0, 3.0 and 3.5are side by side installs to the 1.1 that is required and missing on your machine. Having the newer bits doesn't ensure that you already have the older bits on your machine. There might be a particular app that requires just the Framework 1.1 bits to run properly.
