I have a Build Agent that was only dealing in .Net 4.0 RC stuff, and so only had .Net 2.0 (natively) and 4.0 (manually) versions installed.
It now needs to support stuff compiled against 3.5 SP1. Does anyone know if I'm asking for trouble trying to install 3.5 SP1 after 4.0 RC has already been installed?
Thanks in advance.

Yes. You can install and run multiple versions of the . NET Framework on a computer. You can install the versions in any order.
Microsoft designed the . NET Framework so that multiple versions of the framework can be installed and used at the same time. This means that there will be no conflict if multiple applications install different versions of the . NET framework on a single computer.
NET Framework 2.0 SP2 and . NET Framework 3.0 SP2 components for customers who install . NET Framework 3.5 SP1 for as long as . NET Framework 3.5 SP1 remains in support.
NET Framework are in-place updates, you cannot install an earlier version of the . NET Framework 4. x on a system that already has a later version installed.
All the versions of the .NET framework can be installed safely side by side. The only way you will get yourself into trouble is if you try to install different releases of the same framework version side by side (e.g. .NET 4 Beta 2 and .NET 4 RC 1 side by side).
