Hi,
I wrote a VB program using VS2005 that I have to run on an old computer running Windows NT 4.0.
After upgrading all requirements (Service Pack 6, IE 6), I received the error message that I need Administrator rights to install NET 2.0.
I have been logged in as "Master" account that has full administrator rights (otherwise I could not have installed SP6 + IE6), so I wonder if the account literally has to be "Administrator" in order to install NET 2.0 on Win NT
Does anybody have experience installing NET 2.0 on Win NT Does the language matter (I tried to install the English NET on German Windows).
Funnily, I could install NET 1.1 without any problems. Alternatively, is there a simple way to target my VS2005 VB program to run on NET 1.1
Thanks for your help,
Andy
Problem installing NET 2.0 on Windows NT

Ok, probably I confused NET 1.1 requirements with NET 2.0 requirements.
I just found a bug report on this issue, with Microsoft resolving it that Win NT is not supported by NET 2.0.

They could have warned me more prominently that my programs will not run on Win NT anymore...
I spent hours upgrading my VB6 programs to Visual Studio 2005 Express. Is there a way at least to target NET 1.1, so that I can run my program on Win NT

Where did you get the list of requirments
Microsoft's download page does not list Windows NT4 as a supported OS:

Targeting v1.1 with VS2005 is currently not a supported scenario, and I would advise against these workarounds. If you cannot update the OS, the best track to take is to use a previous version of VS (2003) to target v1.1.

I never tested it, but read about it on this forum and elsewhere.
From what I understand, you have to put these lines in the app.config, to force running with .Net 1.1 :
<configuration>
<startup>
<requiredRuntime version="v1.1.4322" safemode="true"/>
</startup>
</configuration>

Hope it will be helpful !

NET 1.1 runs on Windows NT. Does anybody know how to compile a program from Visual Basic 2005 Express to run on NET 1.1 instead of NET 2.0
Can I just compile manually using the NET 1.1 SDK or am I expected to run into problems
Thanks!
