.NET Framework problem -- Fatal execution engine error (0x7927e03e)

A few days ago, I installed WootOffAlarm. Following intructions, I first
installed .NET Framework v1.1 and tried to use WootOffAlarm v1.0.1 but that
generated an error message:
Application has generated an exception that could not be handled.
There was a later version of WootOffAlarm available so I decided to try
that. That required using .NET Framework 2.0 so I used add/remove programs
to remove .NET Framework v1.1 and then installed v2.0.

Now I've been getting error messages at startup which point towards .NET. I
used add/remove to uninstall .NET Framework 2.0, but Add/Remove Programs
still shows two related listings:
.NET Framework v1.1
.NET Framework v1.1 hotfix (KB886903)
When I try to remove the first one, I get the message "this patch package
could not be opened..." When I select and try to remove the hotfix, nothing
happens.

I'm getting two error message startup. The first one is:
Fatal Execution Engine Error (0x7927e03e)
The second one (NotifyAlert.ext -- Common Language Runtime Debugging
Services):

Application has generated an exception that could not be handled.
Process id=0xbx04(2880), Thread id=0xb08(2824)
Click OK to terminate application
Click CANCEL to debug the application

The id number seems to change in this message on each restart. Hitting
Cancel does not allow debug to run.

Any suggestions on how to completely get rid of .NET? This is preuming that
I can do without it. I've done some googling on this issue and many
suggestions are too extreme for me -- such as reinstalling the OS. I don't
want to go down that road unless it's a last resort. There is a weblog at
http://blogs.msdn.com/astebner/archive/2005/04/08/406671.aspx which
describes a removal tool but the link to the zip file doesn't work for me.
