Fixed Framework 1.1 For Windows 7 Installation Error
That’s right. Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 is a very old Windows component package to be installed on Microsoft Windows 7 and it is not designed to work on Windows 7 and higher operating system. You can install Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 on Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows Server 2003, and Windows Server 2008.
If you want to install a version of .NET Framework on your computer, the lowest possible version that will work on Windows 7 is Microsoft .NET Framework 4. The version before this, Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 Service Pack 1, is designed to run on Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows Server 2003, and Windows Server 2008. This, too, is not compatible with your operating system.
