What .net framework version(s) should I install?

[mkrausnick]

I'm re-building a computer to develop apps in VS 2008. Should I install versions of the .NET framework other than the current version 3.5, or is 3.5 the only one I need to install?

Thanks,

I had to have 1.1, 2.0, 3.0 and 3.5 ( along with respective service packs ) just to get VS 2008 to even install correctly on my machine.

Keep in mind that apps written with V3.5 will only work on XP and above. If you are doing any programming on Win 2000 or older machines you will need earlier versions of the framework.

Good point about the XP minimum requirement for .NET 3.5. So I take it that if I'm developing on XP forward in VS2008 that I only need .NET 3.5 and not the prior versions.

Thanks for the info.
