A great question was asked on the 64-bit NG: "Why do you need .NET 1.1 when .NET 2.0 is installed?" (.NET 2.0 is 64-bit and 32-bit, and .NET 1.1 is only 32-bit)
The way the Microsoft created the .NET Framework allows for multiple versions to run side-by-side. When developers write applications for .NET, they target a specific version of the .NET Framework. If your application targets the .NET Framework 1.1, you'll need to install it ;-).
Luckily, the .NET Framework 1.1 (32-Bit) runs great in Windows x64. The best thing to do is to install the .NET Framework 1.1 Redistributable (available here) and then to install the .NET Framework 2.0 Redistributable.
