what do i need to enable accessing of webservices from a clients PC

i'm hosting some webservices from my server in VB.NET.
i've got some client windows applications done in VB.NET.
what have i got to install on the clients PC to be able to access these
webservices??
Will just the .NET Framework suffice???
Or do i have to install SOAP??
note - the OS of the client can be win98, win2K, win3000, winXP

second, (with regards to SOAP)...

If i've got to install SOAP, then there's a thorn up my bottom,
which is constantly perstering me of the fact that MS have stopped
supporting SOAP??

so does this mean this is the end of SOAP??
how will or do webservices work without SOAP???
 
Jinhashe,

That depends with what you get the information from the webservice
- IE nothing to instal
- a dotNet program (by instance VBNet) you have to install the framework
- a Win32 program you do not have to intall the framework for this
reason.

In the last situation I advice you to ask this question in the newsgroup
microsoft.public.dotnet.framework.webservice where it can be probably be
answered more in depth than here, because it is than not directly a VBNet
question.

I hope this helps?
