.net 1.1 AND .net 2?

Could it be that a computer game requires both .net framework 1.1 and .net framework 2 to be installed on my computer? I'm thinking about buying a game that requires this, but it seems strange to me. The game was developed by an independent developer, and I get the feeling that this may be a sign that he doesn't really know what he's doing. Or are the two just not compatible?

I don't see how an application, be it a game or other, really requires both .Net framework 1.1 and 2.0. Framework 2.0 is backward compatible and is able to run applications written for framework 1.1. But yes, if for some reason this is the case, it is a bad sign indicating usage of some old and obscure code that the company is not able to rebuild (or don’t have the sources to).

By the way, it is very unlikely that the game itself is running on the .Net framework, I don’t think there are many commercial games that do, if at all. Probably some utility, companion tool or the installer is what requires the .Net framework.

What game is it?

Technically, a Windows process of a certain program can only be binded to one version of the .NET runtime at any given time. The current implementation of both .NET framework 1.1 and 2.0 cannot allow that.

In addition to that, there is currently no support to unload a given .NET framework that was binded to the a certain process so you are either running your program on .NET 1.1 or on 2.0, not both.
