will service/console app built with VS2003 run in a .NET 2.0 only host?

If I built a console app to also run as a service using VS2003 and deploy
the service on a box that has only .NET 2.0 on it, will it work?
Why or why not?
thx. -greg

Not tried this specifically. AFAIK it should. My understanding is that :
- by default it tries to run with the version it was build for
- using the application config file you can allow a 1.1 application to run
on 2.0 (see the supportedRuntime section)
- you have to test the application in this specific configuration
