I am not sure if Windows XP SP2 comes with .net framework 2.0 or not, I tried to search for this but I couldn't find a final word. So if anyone knows whether a clean install of Windows XP SP2 installs .net framework 2.0+ or not it will be great.

Thanks

No, it doesn't contain it. I hope 3.5 is delivered with Windows 7 though. Any Words on that?!

Here is an actual overview which Windows Version included a .Net Version

.Net Versions (Wikipedia)

  • The beta and RC had 3.5 SP1 preinstalled, and as far as i know, it'll stay that way. A pity they couldn't include 4.0. – Botz3000 Aug 04 '09 at 20:14

Nope, it doesn't. The only version of Windows to start including the .Net framework was Vista (and that started with .Net 3.0).

  • Windows XP Media Center Edition and Tablet Editions carried .NET 1.0, more here: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/astebner/archive/2007/03/14/mailbag-what-version-of-the-net-framework-is-included-in-what-version-of-the-os.aspx – Luke Puplett Nov 05 '14 at 14:39
