I'm not aware of any such deployment problems with .NET. I'm sure there must be some, somewhere, but they must be edge cases. In ten years of .NET development I haven't bumped into them. Different versions of .NET sit side-by-side on the same machine just fine; ditto for DLLs targeted towards different .NET versions. My daily work involves a .NET 4.0 application that has dependencies on a lot of .NET 2.0 DLLs; it just works seamlessly. - Peter
