Needed to know which .NET versions I'd installed. Downloaded and
installed .Net Version Check application. This application is saying
I've got .NET 1.1.4322.2407 installed. However, when looking at
released .NET versions this exact version doesn't appear (http://
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.NET_Framework and http://support.microsoft.com/kb/318785)

So what .NET 1.1 version am I running ? Neither of the below match. Am
I running sp1 + a few updates ?

Original RTM
.NET Framework Service Pack 1
.NET Framework included with Windows Server 2003 32-bit Service Pack 1

Simply look at your C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework folder and see what
sub-folders are under that.

Thanks for the feedback.

Had you asked me a week ago I would have said the same thing.

However, the other day I was working on lab computer that had the
v1.0.3705 subfolder. When running a 1.0 application I noticed that
dotnet 2.0 assemblies were loaded. Then by running .NET Version check
it reported that 1.0.3705 wasn't installed. By looking at the content
of v1.0.3705 subfolder it was almost empty. Why the v1.0.3705
subfolder was present I couldn't tell you (bad uninstalled?) but it
goes to show its not a 100% accurate test.

Regarding my original question. I need to know exactly which version
of .NET 1.1 I'm running to see if a Microsoft Knowledge base article
is right for me. The article says .NET 1.1 sp1 but on my computer I'm
getting .NET 1.1.4322.2407 which I dont know what translates into (see
links in first post).

Appreciate any help.

Apparently MSFT can't make their minds up about how to detect .NET. The KB
article you cited in your first post (318785) was completely changed from
what they used to report. I suggest looking in the regiatry under
"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\NET Framework Setup\NDP" (for 1.1 and
later). This is how they used to recommend doing it and still do in some
articles. AFAIK it's accurate and I even have code I wrote a few years back
that relies on this (still in production). See here for instance (search for
"Reading a Registry Key"):
