program needs older version net

I have some database software that needs the .net environment to run. I had ..NET 2.0 pre-Vista. Everything ran fine.
When I as re-installing the software after installing Windows Vista, I had this error come up:
"This setup requires the .NET framework version 1.1.4322. Please install the .net framework and run this setup again."
I kinda thought .NET 2.0 (this is the version shipped with Vista, correct?) just carried everything from 1.0, 1.1 and 1.1 sp1? Wonder why this would matter?
Thanks for your help. Jesse

Hi, Just found out myself; .NET 2.0 and 1. are two separare animals. >net 2.0 doesn't include 1. ; from what I read.

Different versions of the framework are just that, different versions of the framework. One version does not upgrade another. If a program was written to specifically use the 1.1 version of the framework, then that is he version tha you need. Version 2.0 does not replace 1.1, both versions can be installed at the same time. -- Tom Porterfield

ahh...ok- so both versions can be installed at the same time *safely* with Vista?

Yes, with Vista and any other version of Windows that the framework runs on. -- Tom Porterfield
