Visual Studio.NET 2003 came with Framework 1.1 on the installation
CD. There is a "hotfix" out for Framework 1.1 . If this hotfix is installed,
would it interfere with Visual Studio or the running of apps built with
Framework 1.1 that didn't have the hotfix?

Andrew,

I assume this is the hotfix, you're referring to
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=887543? If so, and in general, no it
won't interfere "with Visual Studio or the running of apps built with
Framework 1.1 that didn't have the hotfix". It obviously depends on what is
being fixed and which, if any, parts of the fixed assemblies your
application make use of.
 
Tak, Carsten. I figured that was the case, but VS.NET
has so much coordinated software that I wanted to be sure.
How about the Service Pack 1 update to Framework 1.1?
Can apps built with Framework 1.1 be run with Framework 1.1
that has SP1?

Yes, they should and with fewer problems.

I've solved an obstructing ExecutionEngineException in my components by
upgrading to .NET 1.1/SP1. The KB list for .NET 1.1/SP1 lists a lot of
issues that were solved and solves more than is mentionend in the list. It
could however introduce new problems, although the chance is small. The
notes for .NET 1.1/SP1 mention that only if you encounter problems with
..NET/SP0 you should upgrade to .NET 1.1/SP1.

HTH,

Thanks, Tom. After I cloned my OS partition to back it up, I tried
installing Service Pack 1 for .NET Framework 1.1. The only problem
that I had with that was that it required un-installing the Student Tools
for my Visual Studio.NET Academic Edition and then re-installing it
again. So far, no problems with running previously built apps.
