Thanks, Colin. I find that .NET Framework 3.0 and 3.5 are
also listed in the Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework folder, but
that SP1 for Framework 3.5 is listed in the Control Panel's
"Programs and Features" panel. I was told in the MS dotnet.framework
NG that Framework 2.0 and 3.0 are part of Vista, and 3.5 is part of
Vista/SP1, thus they are all part of Vista. But Framework 3.5/SP1 came
later, and that's why it is listed in "Programs and Features". In any event,
I am relieved that nothing is wrong with my Vista system in that regard.

Glad you got it sorted.
