Hi!
I have 4 projects, compiled for dotNet Framework 1.0.
They all are working on the same online hosting server
with dotNet Framework 1.0 installed.

Now our team is starting a new project and consider to use
dotNet Framework 1.1.

The question is:
Can both versions: dotNet Framework 1.0 and dotNet
Framework 1.1 coexist on the same server?
If they can, will the existent aplications continue
working after I have installed a newer version of dotNet
Framework for a new project?

Great thanx.

Yes, not a problem. NOTE, however, that installing 1.1 sets IIS up with 1.1.
You can revert this at the default level or any individual level using
aspnet_regiis from the 1.0 directory. This article has an explanation:

Yes, with the same caveat. Some apps will work fine under 1.1 (most
actually); the only apps I have had problems with have been heavy XML apps.
