Does windows live mail 2011 need netframework to work

Windows Live Mail 2011 does not require.NET Framework to work, but it does require some.NET components to be installed on your system.

When you install Windows Live Mail 2011, it will automatically install the necessary.NET components, including the.NET Framework 3.5 Service Pack 1 (SP1) or later. This is because Windows Live Mail 2011 is built on top of the.NET Framework and relies on some of its features to function properly.

However, if you have a newer version of the.NET Framework installed on your system, such as.NET Framework 4.0 or later, Windows Live Mail 2011 will still work without any issues.

It's worth noting that if you're running Windows 8 or later, you may need to install the.NET Framework 3.5 SP1 or later manually, as it's not included by default in these operating systems. You can do this by going to the Windows Features section in the Control Panel and checking the box next to ".NET Framework 3.5 (includes.NET 2.0 and 3.0)".

In summary, while Windows Live Mail 2011 does require some.NET components to be installed, it does not require the full.NET Framework to work. The necessary.NET components will be installed automatically when you install Windows Live Mail 2011.
