| Blitzmax won't need any of those, but it's quite possible that other programs on your system do... Especially since you apparently use c++ as well... |

| Note: be especially careful uninstalling the dot net 1.1 framework if you have Vista or Windows 7: It'll work on those operating systems if you upgraded from XP and was left in place, but you can not re-install the framework on Vista or 7 after you've removed it. If it does turn out that you have an old dot net app that requires is, you will be out of luck. |

| You will find that LOADS of games require the VC++ entries. .Net uninstall is asking for trouble TBH. |

| guy at our house uninstalled/deleted random files from his low spec 2nd hand pc to get more drive space, he might as well have deleted "C:\windows\" for all the good it did him |

| You shouldn't be uninstalling any of those redistributables. Many applications of all kinds install these, and if you remove them, the application which uses them won't function (correctly) any more. Personally, I prefer to static link the VC runtimes, but it's considered good practice to link dynamically and then install the runtimes, so a lot of apps are going to depend on those. And yeah, leave the .Net framework alone too. Frankly, I don't see anything in there that sounds worth fiddling with. Why break something that doesn't need fixing? |
