you will find plenty of difficulties in Windows 2000, as IIS is very weak at
that point. That being said, if you have 1.1 applications, you need to
repurpose .NET 1.1 as the primary version on the server. You can do this
manually, throught the IIS Manager, or use aspnet_regiis in the 1.1
directory to re-register .NET 1.1.

As you possibly have 2.0 apps that you need to purpose, I would google
search on having 1.1 and 2.0 on a Windows 2000 machine. I would suggest
something, but it has been at least 4 years since i have worked with 2000,
so I would rather give the advice I know.

In general, you end up with multiple App Pools, but I am not sure how that
is accomplished in IIS 5 (I believe it is 5 in 2000).

Thanks. That makes me headache.
I will try to aspnet_regiis in the 1.1 dir.

do I need -i option in running aspnet_regiis?

Through the IIS Manager, I change aspnet2.0 to the 1.1, then I restart the
server.
However, it does not work, and I got the same error message.
