is it possible to run app .net v 1 on server with .net 4?

Question

I have and exe program which is build on .net framework v1.1.4322 (I figured out the version by checking on manifest in ildsam). I need to move this app to the server which has .net v4. I changed config file and added the line of settings in config file. My application does not run. What do I need to do to make it run? Or its not possible?

It should be backward compatible. See if you have .Net Framework 1 and 2 installed.

I am holding it off for the time being because we do not want to recompile and build any application. Thank you for all your suggestion. I let you know when I move ahead with it. I keep the thread open. If there is another possibilities came.

Install .net framework 1 and 2 then. Or you can used a refactoring tool and decode the source. https://www.jetbrains.com/ resharper
