Question about .NET Runtime

[Guest]

This is a silly question and I apologize for asking it...

I recently got a new machine running Windows XP with SP2 on which I
installed Visual Studio .NET. I noticed the VS .NET had to install the .NET
Runtime but I thought the .NET Runtime was part of Windows XP.

Doesn't WinXP ship with the .NET Runtime?

Hi,

No, it doesn't. Only Windows Server 2003 ships with the .Net runtime.

You can still get hold of the .net runtime separately, if you skipped it
during the installation.
