Will my application work on most MS platforms?

[Rob Meade]

Hi,

We have a very simple .aspx file which converts a password using .net SHA-1
etc...

We have just today had a user who is experiencing problems - yet it works
fine everywhere else.

We've managed to establish that they are using Windows 98 SE with IE5.5 SP2
installed....will my application run on this setup with the user needing to
download and install anything else? Should they download the .net framework
1.1?

Any information would be appreciated.

Regards

Rob

Assuming that the ASP.Net Page is not using an embedded Windows Form or some
other client-side .Net app, the client machinedesn't even have to be
IBM-compatible, shouldn't need any software other than a web browser, and
even that doesn't have to be a Microsoft browser.

You would need to describe the problem that this one user is having with
greater detail to go any further with it.

As long as you are serving just straight html pages them them, it had better
work or it's their problem. Possible problem could be that the user is
disabling cookies completely. Sesssion variables do use cookies unless you
tell them otherwise. You didn't mention that you were doing it (and I'm
sure you are not), but when you start throwing third party controls that the
user needs to view the page, then you can run in problems. There should
never be a reason that a client would need the .net framework installed on
their computer to view aspx webpages. One of the great things about
webpages is you can view them on practically anything as long as it has a
browser of some sort.

Hi all,

Thanks for the replies, it turns out to be a problem with Application
Center, we do not currently have SP2 installed - only SP1, and SP2
apparantly addresses the problems with ASP.Net being replicated (or not
etc)....

Cheers
