Hi, eamonn, Be carefyl with .NET as a download. The version of .NET that you can run depends on the operating system you are running. I'm not certain of the versions, but I think that if you have windows 2000 youu can only run .NET 2.0. I suggest that you have a good read of the Ms site before trying to download and install. Take care, gerry ellis ----- Original Message ----- From: eoconnor@xxxxxxx To: vicsireland@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Wednesday, February 14, 2007 3:01 PM Subject: [vicsireland] download for dot net framework wanted Hi folks, Has anyone got a link allowing me to download the Micro dot net framework update, please? I don't really understand it, but I need it to take advantage of a program written by a contributer to the Book Port mailing list. The program, called "ol2bp," allows you to copy emails and contact info from Outlook Express to the Book Port. Apparently, net framework is a windows XP update, but I don't have it, inspite of being set to automatically download and install Windows updates. I've found links to it on the MS site, but didn't get the usual "save or open" dialog. Thanks, Eamonn ********************************************************************** This communication is intended solely for the person or entity to which it is addressed and may contain privileged and/or other confidential information.
