compiled on visual studio 2003 on windows XP, want to install onwindows 7, error

Hello,

I have a VB.Net program, which I wrote on my windows XP pc (all recent
updates installed), and I created a setup project for installing the
program.

Now I want to install that program on windows 7, but there I get a
message: .Net framework 3.5 needed. Unfortunately, the latest version of
the .Net framework is installed on the windows 7 pc.

Anyone has experience with this problem? Does anyone knows a solution?

Thanks in advance.

I think that for most people including me is to run the Windows Update first
when they have installed Windows 7.

Somehow this seems not to be done

Is your installer stating that .Net 3.5 is needed, or is it at the point
when you try running your application?

If this installer was built for a VS 2003 project, then it likely included
..Net 1.1 in the setup. It isn't clear to me whether .Net 1.1 can be
installed on Windows 7, but I don't have Windows 7 to even try. I would
suggest you try that manually by downloading the redistributable from MS and
running it.
