Distributing VB 2005 projects

Hello everyone!

I just finished writing a small app in VB 2005. I paid very close attention
to using only Framework 1.1 commands since my client has not yet installed
the Framework 2.0 across their enterprise.

When I tested my app on another system, my app tells me that I must install
the 2.0 Framework for it to work even though 1.1 is installed. I thought .NET
projects were backward compatible as long as the functions are compatible.

What should I do to distribute my app? Any help would be gretaly appreciated.

That's fine as long as you aren't using any of the newer features that are not supported in the
prior version.

Thanks for your insight...agree dll hell maybe wasn't so bad after all. I
wonder if Vista will come with all the frameworks. Anyway, best answer is
just to try the application under framework 2.0 and see if it works.

I did notice that Microsoft has kept quiet about this topic.

Dennis,

This is as it AFAIK should have been, however in version Net 2.0 are some
classes working as they probably should (only fair to read in the
documentation) have been. By instance the dataview is now on more places in
2.0 really dynamic.

I don't know how Microsoft will solve this.

I can not imaging a future with on one computer needed

Net 1.0 (SP1, SP2), Net 1.x (SP1), Net 2.0 (Sp1, SP2, SP3, SP4), Net 2.1,
Net 3,0

That is worse than the Dll hell.

I really appreciate the ease that the distutils make distributing Python modules. However, I have a question about using them to distribute non-Python (i.e. text) data files that support Python modules. Currently when I have data of this type, I parse it into python objects and make a python module from it. In other words, given a data file like % cat grocery_list.txt eggs spam

Most of my projects are developed in Access 2003. I have not even installed Office 2007 yet! I need to buy VSTO to get the run-time licence for Access 2003. No doubt I will soon need a run-time licence for Access 2007. Is there a version of VSTO that has the Access run-time licence for both version of Access? Or will I need to buy VSTO 2003 now and then VSTO 2007 at a later date? Thanks,
