How to run .NET 1.1 apps on .NET Framework 2.0

[Cat]

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.

the list if changes over there http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=14202

Best is to see the list of API changes made from microsoft side for
both versions. You can get it from www.microsoft.com

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
