Each time you start a managed application the default host is started. This
host has ability to determine which CLR version was used in building the
assembly. Host checks the registry for the version existence and delegates
call to the mscoree.dll.
Sounds like you've clobbered the mscoree ->CLR version process into thinking
you still have 2.0 installed, because you screwed up on uninstalling v2.0.
You could try deleting or renaming mscoree, reinstall .NET 1.1
