Jason,
However the framework, only needs to be installed once (per version). Both
versions can co-exist. You can have 1.0 installed and later install 1.1 or
you can install 1.1 and run both 1.0 or 1.1 apps.
The framework is available optionally on Windows Update, plus newer versions
of Windows will automatically include it.
So yes, today for a single app it may be a disadvantage, however going
forward I consider it an advantage, considering of I have the full power of
a OOP programming environment that using VB.NET.
Hope this helps

Hi,
For distributing .NET application, client need to install .NET framework.
Especially for win98/Me users, installing the framework need to restart
computer and it takes a quite long time for the whole installation
process.
Do you think it is a serious disadvantage for developing application e.g.
ImageViewer in .NET at this moment? main program size is small, but the
whole installation package is quite large.
I am quite worrying about this..
Thank you for sharing your opinions.
Rgds,
Jason
