Uninstall .NET Framework 1.1 ?

Is .NET Framework 1.1 redundant? Or does it have stuff that is not included in .NET Framework 2.0?

Following instructions, prior to installing VB 2005 Express I uninstalled .NET Framework 2.0 which had previously been installed on my system via Windows/Microsoft Update. The VB 2005 Express installation process of course reinstalled .NET Framework 2.0.

Thinking that .NET Framework 1.1 was redundant I uninstalled that at the same time. Now Windows/Microsoft Update lists .NET Framework 1.1 as a recommended but optional update, notwithstanding the fact that .NET Framework 2.0 is installed.

Also, a couple of other applications I tried to install required .NET Framework 1.1 specifically to be installed.

Should I not have uninstalled .NET Framework 1.1? Should I let Windows/Microsoft Update reinstall .NET Framework 1.1?

TIA

Indeed, some old applications require 1.1 framework (they may use obsolete method calls), so just leave 1.1 installed. Both frameworks can coexist on the same machine without problems.
