.NET Framework cleanup and verification tools with Windows 7 support
.NET Framework Cleanup Tool changes (July 24, 2009):
- Added logic to correctly cleanup the .NET Framework on Windows 7. The .NET Framework 2.0 SP2, 3.0 SP2 and 3.5 SP1 are all installed as OS components on Windows 7, so the cleanup tool will not allow you to remove these versions of the .NET Framework on this OS.
- Added detection and logging for the .NET Framework 4. The cleanup tool does not yet support cleaning up the .NET Framework 4. This will be added in a future release.
- Prevent cleanup of mscoree.dll on Vista and higher.
.NET Framework Setup Verification Tool changes (July 17, 2009)
- Fixed false errors being reported for non-English versions of the .NET Framework 1.0.
- Fixed filtering problem that caused the .NET Framework 1.0 to be removed from the list of available products if any 1.0 service packs are installed.
- Fixed false errors being reported for the .NET Framework 1.1 if the .NET Framework 1.0 is also installed on the system.
- Fixed false errors being reported for the .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 on Windows 7.
- Added detection and logging for .NET Framework 4 and Windows 7. The verification tool does not yet support verifying the .NET Framework 4. This will be added in a future release.
