.Net 1.1 upgrade

[.NET Developer]

Thanks to the great guys who responded. I was able to install 1.1 on the dev
machines and convert all the applications to 1.1. I did not run into any
problem except with an WINDOWS app that is beging accessed thru a website.
So I need your help.

The windows application app.exe is hosted on a website. Users can access the
app like http://application/app.exe. We have also used windows active
directory groups to give limited access to various groups. app.exe is
written in 1.0. Now I installed 1.1 on the dev machine and ran
"C:\WINNT\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.0.3705\aspnet_regiis -r" to make sure
all the applications that are written in 1.0 are still running. Because when
we go live with 1.1 some of the applications may be still running on 1.0.
All the web applications are still functioning properly after running the
above command except this win app app.exe. When I go to
http://application/app.exe I get "Anexception 'system.argumentException' has
occured in IEExec.exe" error. I am not sure what the cause is. But when I
went to the windows folder and double click on app.exe the application is
opened. Any idea what is the error?

Please help.

If you need to mix and match ASP.NET versions, don't miss out on this tool:

I'm wondering if like this is a case where you need to explicitly tell your
app that it is okay to use a different version of the .Net Framework.

Not sure, but you might want to take a look at the section
