.Net client penetration?

THis may not be the right forum for market questions, I'm looking for
an active set of .Net / C# folks to help us locate the right
information. We're considering .Net for a client and need to be able to
rely on Windows existing penetratino of .Net

I'm looking for the following, :
- % of Windows clients that have .Net 1.1 or later installed as of
March 2006.
- What OS did .Net first appear in, preinstalled
- Does .Net come with IE and if so, starting at what version of IE
- If you write in .Net 1.1, will that code excute error free in 2.0,
and vice-versa, can 2.0 .Net execute in 1.1 framework (obviously
assuming you use classes that are avail in 1.1)?
If anyone can point me in the right direction to who or where to get
answers to these questions, I'd very much appreciate it!

It's impossible to give a precise number here since the .NET Framework
doesn't report itself to anybody once it's installed. The only way you can
detect wether a PC has the .NET Fx installed is by looking at Internet
Explorer's user agent (the .NET Fx adds itself to its user agent). Of
course, these days, with more and more people using firefox and other
alternative browser, relying solely on this information to determine the
proportion of PC with the .NET Fx will result in a seriously underestimated
number. But here is an article dating from March last year that has some
numbers anyway:
http://blogs.msdn.com/scottwil/archi...09/391199.aspx
- What OS did .Net first appear in, preinstalled
Windows 2003 Server
- Does .Net come with IE and if so, starting at what version of IE
No. The .NET Framework can be downloaded either from MS web site or via
Windows Update (in the optional updates). Application developers are also
allowed to redistribute the .NET Framework setup program within their
installation package.
- If you write in .Net 1.1, will that code excute error free in 2.0,
and vice-versa, can 2.0 .Net execute in 1.1 framework (obviously
assuming you use classes that are avail in 1.1)?
In theory yes. In practice, you'll have to test thoroughly your system
first because there are always breaking changes between .NET Fx versions.
Note that different versions of the .NET Fx can be installed side-by-side.
This means that even if the user "upgrades" to .NET 2, it won't break your
existing .NET 1.1 applications since they'll continue to work against .NET
Fx 1.1.
If anyone can point me in the right direction to who or where to get
answers to these questions, I'd very much appreciate it!


If you are planning to develop applications using the .NET Fx, don't forget
that you can reditribute it with your app. And that if the user doesn't
have it installed, it's easy enough to build an installer that will detect
that and launch or download the .NET Fx setup program automatically.
However, it's been quite a while now that every new PC that i see already
has the .NET Fx 1.1 installed (on Windows XP).

In case you want to deploy your .NET client to machines without .NET
Framework installation, our linker and native compiler tool can be
used. It generates a package that guarantees to run everywhere without
any futhere installation, whether or not .NET Framework is installed.
More info can be found here:

Hi, I'm involved in a research project on spatial prepositions. In that project we use very simple, static 3D maps that are represented in a tiny subset of x3d enriched with some few linguistic information. Until now, we home-brewed all 3D-related calculations for two reasons: First, we thought we'd get away with pretty basic and simple stuff throughout the project. Second, we didn't detect even one Python module that would support x3d...

We're trying to determine whether we should deploy our app built against ..NET 1.0 or 1.1. We've already decided that until the number of users with the 1.0 runtime but NOT the 1.1 drops close to zero, we have to support execution under either environment. In that case, there doesn't seem to be much advantage to building against .NET 1.1 (since we can't use any new features). However, I'd really like to start using VS.NET 2003, mainly in...

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not.
