George,
You are correct! The download for the .NET Framework SDK 1.1 says:
"You must install the .NET Framework Redistributable Package version 1.1
prior to installing the .NET Framework SDK."
Good catch! I will forward your comments to Microsoft Support.
I'm sorry you had so much trouble with this. I can understand your frustation!
