That Hotfix has nothing to do with .NET Framework 1.1. BTW:

Qualifying hotfixes are free. Call the Microsoft telephone number and
talk to a person.

The only way to get them is to call, as the article states. There are no
fees for a hotfix, as long as all you mention is the specific article
number.

Call Microsoft Professional Customer Service @ 1-800-936-5700(4900) (this
line is 24/7), there is an option for hotfix. A rep will email you a link to
the fix.

The file the article says will be updated is currently in the following
directory on my PC:

C:\Program Files\Microsoft.NET\SDK\v1.1\Bin

So I assumed it was .NET.

Nope. ".NET Framework SDK Version 1.1" will be installed automatically
when installing "Visual Studio .NET 2003". In addition, ".NET Framework
SDK Version 1.1" requires the ".NET Framework Redistributable Package
version 1.1" to be installed. Actually, these are three different layers.
As its name suggests, that updated file ("Microsoft.VisualStudio.dll")
is a "Visual Studio .NET 2003" hotfix rather than a ".NET 1.1" hotfix.
