AGS 3.0 and higher requires .NET 2.0 or higher. Prior versions of AGS do not require .NET.

V2.0 is marked as a requirement. So, if you don't have it installed, even if the editor (note: AGS games don't need .NET to work, only the editor needs it) runs, there're chances that it relies on some features of V2.0 which yield problems later.

Are there any real reasons you don't update .NET?

Edited: Beated by Monkey, but yes, you can still make games without .NET if you use V2.72 or earlier.

Some people actually opt not to update for various reasons. I have definitely heard some people say they won't upgrade (at least right now) because of the requirement, but it certainly opened up new worlds of possibility for Chris (AGS creator and developer).

If you ever do manage to obtain the .NET framework I would highly recommend the upgrade to 3.0, but it's certainly possible to create wonderful games with prior versions of AGS.
