.NET on WinNT 4.x?

[Tom]

I just read something that somewhat bothers me.... Does the .NET framework,
along with apps compiled by VB.NET (just compiled apps - not VB.NET itself)
run on Windows NT 4.x? We are mostly W2K, but I am coverting a LARGE
application that will need to run on all our PCs - and some of those PCs are
still Win NT.

Thanks.

Hi,

Regular .NET applications will run on Windows NT4 SP6, as
long as they are not ASP.NET applications. ASP.NET is not
supported on IIS4 (which runs on NT4). Note that you have
to install the .NET Framework 1.1 Redistributable on the
workstations where you want to run .NET apps. More
information can be found on

eqs/default.aspx#Redist>

HTH.

Cool.... I assume the same is true for the 1.0 version of the framework?

I figured it would work, but I saw on some 'technical' report that the
reviewer said he had to run it on W2K since the framework doesn't work on
NT. Maybe he was referring to ASP.NET.

Anyway, thanks for the reply.
