Application Help

Hello,

Do all my client systems need the .NET Framework installed in order to run
an application developed with VB.NET?

I wrote an application to fill a multi-line textbox with text read from a
text file and only has a close option. The application will be called from
a log on script from our Novell domain. The application is stored on one of
our novell file servers. I posted earlier about the security error I was
getting when I would try to run the application from my workstation. I
managed to get around that problem and decided to test it from another
system. I get an "The application failed to initialize properly" error when
I run it from my other XP system. The only difference that I know of is the
new XP system does not have the .NET Framework installed. I only have the
framework installed on my web severs and a few development machines.

This is my first attempt to write a windows application and I'm finding it
to be very difficult. Basically all I'm trying to accomplish is display a
security alert message when our users log on that will run on all our
windows systems. (Windows 2000 - Windows XP)

Do I need to go back to VB6 and write the application there to accomplish
this?

Thanks,
AMerrell

Yes.

If you create a Setup application (Installation wizard) for your project
and run it on a regular box it will automatically detect if the .NET
framework is installed or not. If it isn't then you are given the
option of launching IE to the MS downloads page.

I'm really starting to not like .NET. It sure is easy to build things but
to deploy them is a headache. I guess I"ll go back to VB6.

Thanks
