Compiling a .net executable

[Guest]

Hi all.
I'm taking my first trembling steps in Visual Studio .net, and one of the
things i've run into is the issue of the resulting executable.

I was wondering if it is possible to build a Win32 type executable? I've
tried some things but every time i 'crash' (on purpose) it will go to
something that looks like a JIT debugging assertation box. What i was
expecting was something like when a regular Win32 app crashes with null
pointer exceptions

Is there a way to produce a Win32 binary?

Yes, if you are willing to pay:

So i cannot run a .net built application on, say, Windows 98? the operating
system has to have the framework or whatever? like with Java and JRE?

Yes - you need to have the framework installed. It comes installed by
default on Windows 2003

Yes. However, you can install the framework in Windows 98, so you *can*
run it there.
