Hello
I have a big problem with .NET Framework 2.0.
My story is:
I made a program via VB2005 and I gave it to all my friends.
My friends who doesn't have Win XP SP2 said: the program didn't work cuz .NET Framework 2.0 didn't install.
My question is: Does any program which made via VB2005 need Win XP SP2 exclusively
I'm very angy.
Can anybody help me, please, please, please
"This's a big problem, isn't it "
Not to me. I installed SP2 the first week it was out.
SP2 is the stated update level for XP. It's been stated as long as the software pre-requisites have been stated.
I worked for a larg vendor for a decade and one half. I believe in a couple of things. I use as much Ms software as possible. I also believe in keeping it up to as the vendero intended. I've never regretted that.
Get a copy of Visual Studio 2003. If it's a small application, and you are using not too many features that are new in the .NET framework 2.0, you can probably copy a lot of code. But you'll still have a lot of work.
It would be a lot easier to ask your friend to install SP2
You don't need to have windows XP, but you do need to have the .NET framework 2.0 installed (if you do have XP, you'll need service pack 2).
This .NET framework can be downloaded here: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx FamilyID=0856eacb-4362-4b0d-8edd-aab15c5e04f5&DisplayLang=en
You can install the .NET 2.0 framework (an run .NET 2.0 applications) on the following OS:
Windows 2000 Service Pack 3
Windows 98
Windows 98 Second Edition
Windows ME
Windows Server 2003
Windows XP Service Pack 2
Keep in mind that you also must have at least IE 5.1 installed.
Thanks for replies.
Well,
For who doesn't have Win XP SP2, what should I do for him
I mean how I can give my program to him

I think if people kept there machines up to date with the latest security patches and updates - then there would be less problems with virus attacks which keep coming back long after a fix was issued because people didnt install patches on the machines.
The people that write the OS updates do a great job at responding to the bad people that think its amusing to write bad virus code. But we can all do our part in limiting the potential damage by installing the latest patches and updates and having antivirus software on the PC's. Installing updates should be a bit of a no brainer these days.
So is it a big problem, only possibly for those that dont have the SP and not being able to install .NET 2.0 may in fact be the least of there worries.

The requirements definately indicate Win XP SP2 as the supported version of the OS and also the Win 98 will run the .NET framework.
As far as windows 98 goes the QA do run a whole automation run of tests on Windows 98 but its not a OS that is given a great deal of testing as it is rather dated (with potential security risks), its use is more limited as people upgrade to newer machines with newer OS.
I dont think the development environment is supported on Windows 98 - just the runtime. So dont go reformatting your machines to window 98 and expect to install the latest version of visual studio on it
I definately agree that people should upgrade there OS to the SP with security bug fixes in and make sure there machines are more secure.

So .NET Framework 2.0 don't install on Win XP SP1 or just Win XP.
This's a big problem, isn't it

These are the stated requisites for the product. If you publish your effort, the resulting one click installer will down load the Framework software from Microsoft.
If you friend is not running SP2, the system is open to an awful lot of viruses and worms, etc.
