SYMPTOMS

When you try to download assemblies in an application that was built by using the Microsoft .NET Framework version 1.1, the application may appear to stop responding (hang). When this problem occurs, you do not receive an error message.

Note Although this problem was first noticed while using a Microsoft ASP.NET application, this problem is not specific to ASP.NET.
