Unsure? .NET Framework 3.5 SP1

[mmaes6179]

Hello,

I recently downloaded and installed "Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 Service pack 1 Full Package" or dotnetfx35.exe without using windows update. The install seemed to be successful.

However, now when I go to "update.microsoft.com" it says that I need to install "Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 Service Pack 1 and .NET Framework 3.5 Family Update (KB951847) x86"

They both appear to be the same thing, but are they? Do I need to install the latter update or is it somehow redundant?

>>
Running XP Professional
Version 2002
Service Pack 3

These are the current .NET installs as they appear in my Add/Remove:

Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 Service Pack 2
- .NET Framework CA
- .NET Framework CLR
- .NET Framework WinForms
- .NET Framework ASP .NET
- .NET Framework 2
- .NET Framework 1
- Dr. Watson
- .NET Framework PreXP
- .NET Framework CRT

Microsoft .NET Framework 3.0 Service Pack 2
- WCS
- WPF2_32
- WPF_1
- WF
- WPF_Other_32
- WPF_Other
- WF_32
- WCF
- XPS
- WPF2

Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 SP1
- Hotfix for Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 (KB953595)


Any help is appreciated!!

Installing .NET Framework 3.5 with the family pack (which was not included
in your original download will only install a few additional file plus the
"Family" update which is basically a bunch of bug fixes.

So use Windows Update and it will only install those components you need.
