Small footprint XP app

Hi,

I'm developing a small WinForms application, targeted for Win XP. I thought
that Win XP had the .NET framework already installed, but it looks like it
doesn't.

Is there a way to make a .NET application run in Windows XP without having
to download the 23MB dotnetfx?

Thanks in advance,

Francisco Garcia

Hello Francisco,

Thanks for your post. Ken and Phil are right that we have to install .NET
Framework in order to execute a .NET application. You can get the .Net
Framework from Microsoft website at:

Get the Framework
http://msdn.microsoft.com/netframewo...t/default.aspx

Please feel free to let me know if any futher is needed.

I think I'm correct in saying that some OEMs are shipping the .NET framework
1.1 along with SP1 for XP and their computers.

You are correct. The original poster was wondering about XP and the
framework being pre-installed. My reply was just to present information
that some OEMs are starting to pre-install the framework before shipping out
their newly sold PCs.
