Most .NET 1.1 programs just run on .NET Framework 2.0 without any nag.
But some programs pops up a message box saying .NET 1.1 is not
installed. I think .NET 2.0 has backwards compatibility and can run
..NET 1.1 apps, right? Because installing both 1.1 and 2.0 seems to be a
waste... Is there any way to make .NET Framework 2.0 appear as if it
were .NET Framework 1.1 to the apps? Thanks.
 
Hello Cat,

I reckon it take place due to some changes in FW, for example u can see
the list if changes over there http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=14202

Thanks for the reply. But what I'm trying to doing is NOT developing
apps, but just run already-made apps. For example, Microsoft Student
2006's calculator; which doesn't run on .NET Framework 2.0 and insists
that 1.1 is required.
 
Cat,

AFAIK should Net 1.x applications run on Framework 2.0. I did not try it
yet.

However before this is misunderstood, you cannot make 1.1 applications
without the Framework 1.1.

I hope this gives an idea
