.NET running on network

[Guest]

Hi all,

Can .NET applications run on Windows 98?
My other question is how a .NET application runs from a network. Is this
statement correct? When a .NET application is run from a network, Microsoft’s
..net framework software running on the user’s machine will copy the software
into the user’s computer memory and execute the program.
What issues I need to consider when a network copy of application has been
activated by a user?
Any comments/references would be highly appreciated.

NET App (up to .NET 2.0) can run on Win98 (SE, I believe) as long as the app
does not use some .NET feature thta is not available to Win98SE (many .NET
features are only available on NT/XP, not Win98/ME).

As for running app (assuming you are talking Win Form app) from network
share, yes you can, just the same as any non-.NET app. Yes, the network
share just used as file store, the app is loaded into running computer's
memory and run. However, .NET has a default security setting that consider
any code loaded from outside the running computer as unsafe and not allow
the code to run. You need to use CASPOL.exe tool or .NET Franework
Configuration Tool in Control Panel (only available to .NET 1.x) to give
appropriate permission to that network share (or Local Intranet) , so that
..NET app can be loaded from there and run.
