Uninstalling Framework

[Rod]

I had Framework 1.1 installed and assumed that installing 2.0 would
overwrite it. So ended up with both installed.
I have uninstalled some of 1.1 so when I now try in uninstall it, it says it
is not installed.
If I try to uninstall 2.0 it says 1.1 is in the middle of installation and
refuses to uninstall until I sort out 1.1.
I have rebooted a million times, tried repairing and reinstalling 2.0, all
to no avail.

How do I get out of this Catch 22.

Help

They work side-by-side

I suggest to install 1.1 back and just forget about it

If only. Sadly 1.1 installation now errors out despite having re-downloaded
it.

Anyhow I want sql 2005 express which demands 2.0.
