Compatibility Issues with .NET Framework

Hello: My Problem is simple.

I develop vb.net applications using VisualStudio 2003, and now there's a
strange problem. I wrote a backup application for a friend of mine, using
SharpZipLib to create ZIP-Files. Now I installed the latest dot-Net Framework
on his Win2K machine, and I got the following error Message:
"C:\WinNT\Microsoft.NET\v1.1.4332\mscorwks.dll could not be loaded".

I figured out that I always need to install the exact .NET Framework-Version
number on the computer the application should be running on, as I used to
develop Software, and now I'm afraid to install the latest .NET Service Pack,
since I suppose all software that is beeing re-built afterwards won't run on
the target computer unless the user also installs the latest service pack.
Why is this so, and how can I fix this ?

If I create an Installer-application using the Installer-Wizzard in Visual
Studio it won't even start, complaining that not the right version of the
..NET Framework is installed, and I can only find my exact version of the
framework on the Visual Studio DVD nowhere else !

Thanks a lot for your efforts !
 
This shouldn't be an issue. The service packs don't break any compatibility
like the version releases.
