.net framework version

We have an application that requires a different version of .net framework
(not 2.0). Can the SQL Server 2005 client tools be installed with a different
version of .net framework? I would rather the programmers use the SQL 2005
tools instead of SQL 2000.
Thanks.

SQL Server tools require 2.0 but you can have multiple versions of the .NET
Framework installed so installing SQL Server doesn't limit your ability to
use the older version of the framework.

.NET 2.0 and .NET 1.1 co-existence?

I downloaded Quest Software's freeware version of
Comparison Suite. When I attempt to install, it tells
me that it requires .NET framework 1.1.4322. I already
have .NET 2.0 installed (as part of the MS-SQL native client install)
and I really don't want to mess that up.

Is it *safe* to have the installer download/install .NET 1.1
to coexist with 2.0? Is it likely to work?Yes, you can install the various versions of .NET side-by-side and they will
live happily together.

Hope this helps.
