Yes,
He tried both of these. The FW install fails with a 'later version
installed' error and the SP just hangs. This is only reports by phone
though as he lives about 250 miles from me so I can't just run over and try
to resolve things. It's always frustrating to try to do things long
distance.
I'll suggest removing 2.0 and then trying to remove 1.1 again. If he
could get 1.1 to uninstall things would probably work with the install.
