BackgroundWorke r does not start unless .NET 3.5 is installed on client computer

2 New Member
Hello,

I'll try to give what I think is sufficient and relevant information about my problem but feel free to ask questions if you need to know more to understand my problem.

I have developed a .NET application using VS 2005 and the about dialog box tells me it's using .NET 2.0.xxx.xxxx. My app works great on my development box (WinXP SP2) and I do not have .NET3.5 installed. However when I run my same app on a test machine, also running WinXP SP2, the BackgroundWorke r never starts. I found this out by using a bunch of dialog boxes and GUI label changes - couldn't quite get remote debugging to work. The most strange thing is that when I install .NET run time 3.5 on the testing machine, things work. I have created an installation project via VS 2005 for my app and it detects .NET2.0 dependency and automatically installs .NET2.0 at install time. I have no evidence to believe that the automatic .NET installation doesn't work.

I'd appreciate any ideas.

Dependency walker tells me the same thing for my app whether I have .NET 2.0 or 3.5 installed so I don't think it's a dll issue.

The output for NET START is below as well. The Services list in the W2K administrator...

Hi everybody, My problem seems a bit clichè but I could not work around. Well I read lots of MSDN papers and discussions, but my problem is a bit different from them. When I tried to run the project in debug mode (by hitting F5) it gives an error message "Error while trying to run project: Unable to start debugging on the web server.

Is there a way to immediately terminate a BackgroundWorker thread? My problem is that the BackgroundWorker starts with a call to My.Computer.FileSystem.GetFiles that can run for a very long time if it is pointing to a directory tree with many files. If the user requests cancellation during this time, the main thread can call CancelAsync and can post a "Cancellation Pending" message to the user, but the BackgroundWorker cannot respond to...

Hi, I have a form with a progress bar on it and wanted to use the BackgroundWorker to be able to update the progress. I looked at examples, run some of them, but in debug, when the code gets to the do work method, it stops for a long while and then executes the first line of the method and the doesn't do anything else. What am i doing wrong?

I'm completely new to using background threading, though I have downloaded and run through several samples and understood how they worked. My question is: I have an app whose primary form will almost always lead to the user opening a certain child window that's fairly resource intensive to load. Is it possible to load this form in a backgroundworker and then use the Show method and hide method as necessary? Anyone know of

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. 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. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
