No, as 2.0 is not an upgrade to 1.1 but rather a different version.
Framework versions are independent. An app written for the 2.0 framework
won't work with 1.1, and an app written specifically for 1.1 will use that
version of the framework. An app written for 1.1 might work with 2.0 but
there were some breaking changes so it is best to have it run with the 1.1
framework, meaning you should keep them both installed.

That has been the stock answer up until now. With the 3.0 framework this
changes a little as 3.0 as really just an addition to 2.0 rather than a
whole new version. So if you install 3.0 it adds some new stuff to the 2.0
framework rather than installing a whole new version of everything in the
framework.
