Alvo,

You would have to make sure that the .NET framework is installed in
order to make sure your application ran. You can distribute the .NET
framework installation package with your app (you can find it on the MS
website), or you could have your users get it from Windows Update (it is one
of the recommended updates).

Hope this helps.

You can only run ,NET applictions on a .NET enabled machine. There are some
utilities that will compile the parts of the framework needed to run without
..NET but the apps that do this can cost a lot. I recently saw one from
Thinstall priced at 10,000 dollars.

To make your application run on any Windows machine from Windows 98 up just
encourage the user to install the framework runtime.

..Net framework installs on Windows 98 and up. What version of Windows do
you think would be a problem?

hi,

well, it's not really a problem on any OS because my apps are only going to
be distributed to my family who, except for 1 or 2 members, have at least
windows 2000.

some people in the real world still have win95 but i'm not going to worry
about that for now

Yes, it's true.

See:

Redistributing the .NET Framework:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...ageruntime.asp

The .Net framework size is 20 MB, so you may want to include it on your CD
rather than forcing users to download it.
