disadvantage?

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

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
Jay

This topic has been beaten into the dirt again and again and again. If you
want to know how people feel, just search for Framework Distribution on
Groups.Google.Com. It's not going to change, so just accept it. If you
don't want to deal with a 20mb distro, then learn C/C++ or any other
language that is actually self-reliant.

Sorry Jason,
I made a language mistake.
You wrote that the deployment packages where quiet large.
That was one of my complaints with VB.Net 2002 too.
But now with VB.Net2003 I have nothing to say about that anymore.
You can even distribute programs using a floppy disk.
About the Net I agree with the others.
It is just an extention to Windows, that itself is not small either.
When that is a problem, you have to go back to Dos 1.0 or something like
that.
