.NET Framework SDK Won't Install

I have a new installation of the Feb05 CTP of VC# Express.  I went through the automatic installation.  Before SQL, MSDN, and VC# Expresses were installed, I thought the corresponding.NET Framework SDK was installed.  I can find no evidence of any of that SDK except perhaps the runtime based on both the Add/Remove Programs list and the places where things like the bin, docs and sample folders should be.

I have separately downloaded the .NET Framework 2.0 Feb05 Release, but it refuses to install.  It tells me I need to install the .NET Framework Beta 2.0 first.  But I thought that's what was installed with VC# Express.

Anybody have any ideas

    I suppose you're right.  I checked the Product versions of the SDK and redist files and they are 2.0.40607.16 and 2.040607.42 respectively.  I thought they were labeled Feb CTP on the download page, but I didn't save that page as I usually do.

    The redist that came with the March 2005 Avalon release has version 2.0.50110.28.  The VC# Express install I used (Feb CTP) is also version 2.0.50110.28, but there doesn't, as you say, seem to be an SDK available and none came with the Avalon release except the WinFX SDK.

    Finally, the "Beta 2" SDK and redist I have is versioned 2.0.50215.44.  Since there is supposed to be an Avalon release this month (May) and I have a VS 2005 Beta 2 CD coming which the new Avalon is supposed to work with, I guess I'll just redo everything when it all comes together.

    Thanx,

    C# Express comes with the .NET runtime, but not the .NET SDK which is much larger.  You can download the .NET SDK seperatly if you need it, which it looks like you did.

    I don't believe there was actually a .NET SDK for the Feb CTP, so the SDK you tried to install was almost certainly the Beta2 SDK which will indeed refuse to install ontop of the FebCTP runtime.

    The key is that all of the following are completely seperate builds, and if you have one piece from one of these, you can't also install pieces from the others:
    Beta1
    November CTP
    December CTP
    February CTP which also works with WAP CTP
    Beta2
