I am hosting my own Asp.net website and its working fine and is on the
internet. However my company website gives me an error saying that I
cannot run two versions of asp.net it is not on the
internet.Eventviewer tells me that I cannot run two versions of
Asp.net, how ever I have no choice because Asp.net 1.4 is grayed out
on some functions like WSUS Should I go and change the Asp.net back to
version 1.4 since I cannot change WSUS version to 2.0?
Would appreciate your help.

Since you did not specify your web server version I will assume Windows 2003
Server - most common.

All you need to do is create different application pools.

Create one called "ASP.NET 1.1"
Create one called "ASP.NET 2.0"

Both can inherit their settings from the default app pool.

Now you need to make sure that you assign the APP POOL on the
WebSite/Virtual Directory home directory tab to the correct version. You
also set the ASP.NET tab to the correct version.

Basically the idea these days is every different website application should
run its own app pool.

If you run different apps as different folders in the same web site you
should again create different app pools for each.

But as a quick fix just make sure you only use ASP.NET 1.1 App Pool on the
ASP.NET 1.1 web apps, and the ASP.NET 2.0 App Pool on ASP.NET 2 web apps.
