I'm a bit puzzled about .NET packages and updates.
If I have installed .NET Framework 3.5SP1 which says that it contains 2.0 and 3.0, do u need to install .NET 2.0 updates?
If yes, why do I get errors when I try to install them (for ex KB958481)?

Wiki (the totally never wrong source of ALL information) says the next higher version of .NET is meant to replace the lower one... not necessarily that it "contains" the lower one.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.NET_Fram ... se_history
You will note in that link the versions that are replaced with each new update. .NET 1.1 NEVER gets replaced... weird huh? Guess we should all go and install it.
Anyways... from what I have experienced there is backwards compatibility built into the higher versions for the apps that want the lower versions. I don't know about anything past 3.5 though... I uninstalled my 2.0 when I got 3.5 installed.
