How to make add-in load 1.1 framework on a machine with 2.0

N

I have an Excel Add-in that has a C++ (MFC 7.1) shim, and a .NET 1.1
UI component. I need Excel to load the 1.1 version of the
dotNET assemblies on a machine where the 2.0 version of the framework
installed.

I understand that if another (2.0 add-in) is loaded, then the 2.0
framework is launched.

However i want to be able to guarantee that
(1) If there is no other add-in, and only mine, then for sure the .NET
1.1 framework is loaded.

(2) If my add-in is unloaded, then users can continue to use 2.0
framework add-ins.

I know i can change the Excel.Config.exe file, and force it to load
whichever framework I want. But that will break other 2.0 add-ins, and
so that is not an acceptable option.

Is there any other way? My addin depends on a lot of other components
that do not have 2.0 equivalents..

What can I do? (that doesn't break other apps)

Please help...
