.NET applications run under any Windows operating system?

I was wondering if I create an application using vb or
c# .NET and install it in several differents windows
operating systems (win95, win98, win2000 professional), it
will run ok? Does it matter the os to run an exe file
created under vb .NET or c# .NET????? I really appreciate
your help ... THANKS!!

as long as the target platform has the .net framework runtime installed,
your app should run the same on all platforms

in theory someone could produce a .net runtime for mac or linux and your app
would still work

I doubt that .net runtime is available for windows 95 though, because win95
was already out of support when .net appeared.

Hello Andy and all you guys,

First of all, thank you so much for your help. Even though, I still a little bit confused. My first thought was to install my .exe application in every computer and let them run locally, even they are browsing from the SQL server. But now, I was reading the features of "visual studio .NET" and I'm thinking to create my application and install it into a local server and then give access to all the computers which are going to use it. Is it possible to do that? Can you please advise me with it? Thank you so much!!!

yes, you can run the application from a shared drive or even from a web
server with no problem. .Net does not require registration of DLLs (unless
you are linking in to any COM components).

However, be aware that when users run the application from another computer,
the privileges the application has will depend on how much "trust" they have
in the other server. Even if it is on a mapped drive, .net will not give
your app the same powers as if it was on a local disk.

ACTUALLY...... I was reading a book today...... and it makes reference to
installing it on a 98 box....... but it doesn't talk about a 95...... I
do remember hearing somewhere that the framework will not install on a 95
box......
