I wrongly assumed that by updating to v1.1 (aka 1.0.5000),
the old v1.0.3705 (aka 1.0.3300) would be overwritten.
Since there was no separate Add/Remove for the old
program, I manually removed it. The Windows\Assembly
folder still lists duplicate "files" of both versions. Why
do the old v.1.0.3300 files have a referenced "CodePage"
while the new v.1.0.5000 files do not? I did a "test"
delete of the old System.xml, and now I can't save MS
Knowledge Base pages as .mht. I guess I must "dotnetfx"
repair or reinstall v1.1. But, what is the difference
between the downloads:
dotnetfx.exe 4/9/03-.NET F... v1.1 Redistributable Pkg
and
dotnetredist.exe 1.0a 4/22/03-.NET F..Redistributable?
Do I need both or just the latest?
 
1.1 is not completely backwards compatible to 1.0 (very close, but not
quite). Therefore, some code demands 1.0, other code written for 1.0 will
run merrily along on 1.1. If some assemblies you are using require 1.0 and
others require 1.1, that is okay. They will both work together in the same
app.

So just leave both on your machine. That is the way it was designed to run.
