VB.net compatibility issue

Hi,

Im developiong a minor application using VB.net. However the target computer does not ahve any visual basic components installed. it runs a win98 OS.

So I have made a windows installer using the deployment tools available in vb.net. but apart from that, inorder for the app to function as warranted does the target machine need Microsoft.net framework installed in it ? and also the Windows Component Update Beta 1 installed in it?


thanks in advance

you will need the MS.NET framework installed. If you have created a .Net deployment project, then in the files for installation, you will most likely see one called something like "dotnetfxredist_86.msm". That file will most likely be disabled for installation. You can include it, and cause it to automatically install the framework on the target. I'm not sure as to the requirements for the target however. Here's and article on MSDN detailing what you have to do.

Thanks a lot,

It works fine and i have figured out how to make a deployment project using the link u provided

Thanks again,
