is this a part of - framework assistant
I am using Firefox 3.5.3 and it has
".net framework assistant 1.0" disabled,
claiming that is not compatible with this
version of the browser.

what makes this different from the
?Windows Presentation Foundation"
that was not disabled until i did it my self ?

is one or both the problem ?
