I have read many articles and it appears you can install .NET 2.0 on a machine that has .NET 1.1
This Microsoft MSDN page talks about what happens with apps that are built for each framework.
When you build your application in Visual Studio 2003 you can select if you want the app to be compatible with 1.0 or 1.1. (Right click on the project and select properties and then look at "Build" under Common Properties.)
Visual Studio 2005 does not seem have this feature. And it would make sense if it was designed on the 2.0 Framework. I speculate that Visual Studio 9 (in 2007?) may allow 2.0 or 2.x in the future.

It is also possible to install the .NET Framework 2.0 and Software Development Kit (SDK) without installing Windows XP service pack 2. I have Windows XP service pack 1 with hotfixes installed at a work related computer. They have not gone to SP2 out of fear of support issues. This prevents Visual Studio Express 2005 from being loaded on the machine. However, you can run the command line compiles.

You can set your path to the Net Framework Redistributables.
C:\WINNT\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\
Then use MSBUILD.EXE to build your project on the command line.
It will find a VBPROJ or CSPROJ file and build the project.
