Hello,

I did some recovery disk operations with my laptop because it became instable. Now, I'm about to re-install SQL Server 2008 Professional, but it keeps telling me that I need to install .net framework 3.5 with service pack1. What's strange is I was asked to do the same when I installed Visual Studio 2008 Professional earlier.

I'd like to know: what's .Net Framework Service Pack1? is it

  1. One piece of software sitting on top of windows ?
  2. Several software having the same name so that Visual Studio has it, SQL Server also has it, and do on...
  3. And why the naming Service Pack1 behind .Net Framework?

I'm really lost.

Thanks for helping
