ɹəuəllıʍ ʇɐb Posted November 13, 2008 Report Share Posted November 13, 2008 Some of these may have been installed by applications or Windows components, others not. .NET Framework 2.0 is never installed automatically, to my knowledge, so you must have installed it, because some application that needs it?If it seriously bothers you to have these unknown applications:write them all down (you already have, here)take a full backup of your systemuninstall them all, one by oneIf your computer and applications continue to work normally, then you know that you didn't need them. If an application (at some point in the future) requests any of them, reinstall that one.P.S. One application I know that requires .NET Framework 2.0 is the Filehippo Update Checker.
