.NET framework version question

[Kid]

Hi

Will Windows tell user to install .NET framework if system does not has .NET
to launch .NET program ?

Can Win98 and Win2000 support .NET 2.0 and 3.0 ?

Can .NET3.0 run 2.0 program ?

Thank you .

Can Win98 and Win2000 support .NET 2.0 and 3.0 ? - Not 3.0 per:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...0B-F857-4A14-83F5-25634C3BF043&displaylang=en -

Can .NET3.0 run 2.0 program ? - 3.0 adds new capabilities to 2.0 without
changing the the main runtime, so yes. -

You need to contact Bill McCarthy, since he knows everything there is to
know about VB.NET and the accompanied framework.

Hi

I think NO. When you try to launch a .NET-powered application on a
machine which hasn't got .NET installed, you may receive an error
dialog box, for example when launching a .NET 2.0 applicaiton on a
non-.NET-powered PC, an error dialog box may appear saying "The
application failed to initialize properly(0xc0000135)...."

Like:

..NET 2.0 can be installed on Win98 and Win2000 both.
See "supported operating systems":
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...cb-4362-4b0d-8edd-aab15c5e04f5&displaylang=en

..NET 3.0 seems it doesn't support Win98 or Win2000:
See "supported operating systems":

Can .NET3.0 run 2.0 program ?

Sure, and .NET 3.5 should also run a .NET 2.0 program.

Hope this helps,

I suggest to distribute the program with a setup. Setup will download and
install a suitable version of the .NET Framework if it's not present on the
target machine.

Is there a relatively simple way to do that? Can you point to a web
description?

If you deploy your application via ClickOnce, you can select .NET
Framework as a prerequisite to install and run .NET-powered
application on target system.
