5. Install my drivers and software.
6. Install NET Framework 2.0 and/or 3.0 after installing my drivers (or while installing my drivers if the drivers require 2.0 or 3.0)???
The 2.0 and 3.0 releases are part of the updates already. If you need the 1.1 for something that has to be installed first being the older version. Once a newer one is on it will fail to be installed with the newer version already installed error popping up on you. http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...DisplayLang=en

The latest Installer 3.1 will be the first thing seen when you first go for updates once connected online. You can try saving it like the 1.1 to a folder and installing just before clicking the Windows update option on the Start menu. That will likely be a waste of time since the automatics updates will first see that put on for verification. http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...DisplayLang=en
