If a target machine has ONLY .net 2.0 installed on it, can my application
(compiled on .net 1.1) run without any problems?

In nearly all cases, yes. The only way to know for sure is to try it.

Most likely, yes. No guarantees that you'll have no problem AT ALL, though.
The only sure way to avoid any potential problem that could be caused by
..NET version difference is to install .NET1.1 on that computer.

In most cases, yes, but it is still better to recompile for 2.0 . I would
set up a test; you may have to alter some config settings, but you should be
fine.
