Boris Posted February 24, 2009 Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 Probably because it is Service Pack 1 for Net Framework 3.5 :)See -http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.NET_Framewor...T_Framework_3.5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dencandy Posted February 25, 2009 Report Share Posted February 25, 2009 Yes, and Service Pack 3 (SP3) is for XP the operating system. .NET Framework is so big and complex it has its own set of service packs, which is the one you are told you need. The two sets of service packs are entirely separate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ɹəuəllıʍ ʇɐb Posted February 25, 2009 Report Share Posted February 25, 2009 Make sure that you run WindowsUpdate after the .NET Framework SP1 install; there is already an update (KB961118) for it that prevents problems with printing (printer driver).
