upgrading .net for VS 2002

[Slipperman]

i have Visual Studio Academic 2002 which came with .Net 1.0. a while ago, i
ordered the .Net 1.1 framework/sdk on CD. just today i went ahead and
installed everything (IE6 sp, mdac, etc) on my 2000 machine but instead of
the install recognizing the old framework was there and overriding it, it
installed it to a different directory. this didn't help any because VS for
some reason is still pointing at 1.0 (help/about). what the heck am i
supposed to do with 1.1 if VS doesn't recognize it?? is there a specific set
of instructions on how to do this upgrade that i may have missed?? do i need
to upgrade VS as well??

Yes the 1.1 Framework does not work with VS.NET 2002.

The 1.1 Framework will not replace the 1.0 Framework.

VS.NET 2002 ships with 1.0 and apps. you build with it run via the 1.0
Framework.
VS.NET 2003 ships with 1.1 and apps. you build with it run via the 1.1
Framework.

There are tools out there that will allow you to have an assembly built with
VS.NET 2002 target the 1.1 Framework, but you won't be able to develop for
the 1.1 Framework unless you have VS.NET 2003.
