Further framework stupidity

Nak
Hi there,

Please consider this string of events, 'A' being a client and 'B' being
me,

A) Your application doesn't work....

B) Please insure the correct version of the framework is
installed, that being 1.0 needs service pack 3 and 1.1 needs service pack 1.

A) 1.1 has service pack 1 installed, 1.0 has service pack 2
installed, why doesn't it work?

B) The application will use 1.0 if it is installed, otherwise it
will use 1.1, therefore you need service pack 3 installed for 1.0.

Is it just me or does this seem to confuse users? My understanding is
that I can configure the applications config file to force it to use 1.1,
but does anyone have any examples of this being done during deployment
within a setup project?

I'm not asking about framework detection here, just the ability to give
the application an opportuinity of selecting the framework itself. Maybe if
this is done during the first lines of the application?

Anyway, suggestions would be cool and appeciated.

Nick.

You can specify the target framework in the application configuration file.

<?xml version ="1.0"?>
<configuratio n>
<startup>
<supportedRunti me version="v1.1.4 322" />
</startup>
</configuration>

Hi there,

Excellent, I suppose now what I have to do is generate this config file
when the app is first run to determin which framework to use. Thanks for
your help.

Nick.

I am doing some research for a Python framework to build web applications. I have discarted Zope because from what I've read, the learning curve is too steep, and it takes more time to build applications in general with Zope.

Hi all, I just started learning Python and would like to starting writing some web-based applications with Python. I did have pretty much experience with doing so with PHP and Java, but Python seems a bit different for me. Do you guys have some good web framework to recommend? (I don't want to use CGI mode)

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.
