Windows 98 problem

[Evan Kontos]

I have an app that sends SMTP email that is written in VB.Net. When I try
to run it on a 98 machine w/.net framework installed on it the app crashes
as soon as it starts to run. Any suggestions?

Hi Evan,

Do you mean you are using System.Web.Mail to send the smtp email?
From the MSDN we know that
The System.Web.Mail namespace contains classes that enable you to construct
and send messages using the CDOSYS (Collaboration Data Objects for Windows
2000) message component. The mail message is delivered either through the
SMTP mail service built into Microsoft Windows 2000 or through an arbitrary
SMTP server. The classes in this namespace can be used from ASP.NET or from
any managed application.
While the CDOSYS did not shipped with windows 98.

Also you may try to read the related google thread for your reference.

Peter, Thanks. However, your google hyperlink didn't work for me. Do
you have any suggestions on how to write a simple SMTP app for Windows
98?

Hi Evan,

I do not think that Peter is active with newsgroups now (because I know his
postings times) so a quick answer.

It is very simple the SMTP part is one of the few things that does not work
with dotNet on a Windows98/Me computer because CDOSYS is not in it.

That is a special NT part which started with Win2000, so I even am not sure
if it is in NT4 however maybe is it the SP6 what I dom't know.

I hope this answer makes it clear?
