Yes, For QTP 10.0 it is mandatory to install .NEt Framework 2.0 and greater. I guess you are bit confused with the notation and terminology related to .Net & Visual Studio.
What QTP Requires as a pre-requiste is a mere download from Microsoft site and installed on your machine. Your XP OS comes loaded with .Net Framework 1.1 and greater ( depending upon the service pack ).
You dont need Visual Studio installed. That is for .Net dev work and not for QTP to work. However if your application deals with .NEt and you want to use the pdm.dll then you need to have Visual Studio Installed.
In your case i just see it as a simple download of .Net Framework 2.0 from the Microsoft site and install it. Once done, continue with QTP installation and begin your testing !! This would be the same even if you have a Demo or a Licensed version.
