Do I need to Install .Net 1.1 Framework on server to host Web app in Visual Studio 2003? I have all .net dlls in GAC.

+1  A: 

Yes, the framework needs to be installed. You also may need (if installed post IIS) to register them with IIS... For that go to the framework directory in c:\winnt... and run "aspnet_regiis -i", which will add the hooks to IIS.

No, you can not install ASp.NET 2003 - there is no 2003 ;) This would be... hm... ASP.NET 1.1 or 1.0, which is not supported on modern servers properly.

Rather upgrade to 2008 / .NET 3.5sp1 upward.

Actually I tried running 1.1 ASP.Net web app on server on which 1.0/1.1 framework is not installed but have 2.0 Framework installed.I checked GAC 1.0/1.1 dlls are present.In IIS properties ASP.NET tabs "ASP.NET version" shows me only 2.0 not 1.0/1.1.My application is running.So this thing is confusing me.Without framework my web app is working.Please provide some clarity regarding this.Does GAC Dlls are sufficient to run 1.0/1.1 .net application?

No idea. You dont do somethng supported and I stopped even caring about .NET 1.1 the moment 2.0 came out with generics.

ASP.NET 2.0 is backward compatible and in most cases it should be possible to run ASP.NET 1.1 applications on a server with only ASP.NET 2.0 installed, so if it works for you - great, but you should try and upgrade to the latest framework unless there is a good reason not to.
