Should I remove this program from my computer?

Question

I'm cleaning off my computer and deleting some programs I don't need, and I came across a program that was called Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 Service Pack 1. I have XP Service Pack 2, so I was thinking this might be useless, but I wanted to make sure first.

Answer 1

You need each service pack.

I somehow lost Windows installer, I think it was in some things I was trying to clean up too.

I have the same setup. I think I have found that I did away with (RPC)

windows Remote Procedure Call.

Installer needs this to operate.

Answer 2

little tip if a program or folder says microsoft or windows in the name of it don't delete it. you delete that and you will have serious issues

Answer 3

Hey there,

Don't uninstall it, I have that software too and I'm on Windows XP SP3.

Uninstalling it will stop a lot of programs from running on your computer properly. I'm sure it'll stop 70% of the files, it includes a lot of libraries that you require.
