Notes:
a.
^ .NET Framework 1.0 is an integral component of
Windows XP Media Center Edition and
Windows XP Tablet PC Edition . Installation CDs for the Home edition and the Professional edition of Windows XP SP1, SP2 or SP3 come with .NET Framework 1.0 installation packages.
[3]
b.
^ Installation CDs for the Home edition and the Professional edition of Windows XP SP2 and SP3 come with .NET Framework 1.1 installation packages.
[3]
c.
^ .NET Framework is not automatically installed with this operating system. It must be installed either from a Windows installation media or from the
Internet on demand.
Control Panel or Server Manager always attempts the latter.
[29]
d.
^ This date applies only when running on Windows 10 version 1809, Windows Server 2019 or later. On older versions of Windows, .NET Framework 3.5 Service Pack 1 adopts the lifecycle of the underlying Windows operating system.
