Does anyone know what the runtime requirements are for solutions developed in VS 2005

Thanks,

System requirements for VS 2005

    Hi,

    Is it for developing an application or running a developed application The requirements for using VS2005 to develop an application would be more as compared simply running an already developed app..

    For development I'd recommend having a minimum of 512 MB RAM on minimum of 1Ghz Processor.

    This will entirely depend on your solution which was developed with VS 2005.  Obviously a simple console based application that prints "Hello World" to the screen will have significantly lower requirements that a DirectX/Direct3D based FPS video game. 

    As far as the console example goes the machine should have the correct version of the framework installed and loaded on his or her machine.  I don't believe there should really be anything else.

    Hi,

    Hmmph, such a sad thing...
    But its still in a Beta Stage. Maybe you could post it as a suggestion here..

    Maybe microsoft could support older platforms... (Wishful Thinking I guess...)

    Hi,

    If you put it to that. Then I guess the minimum requirements would be the same as the minimum requirements of .net framework 2. Coz if you could install the framework, a program as small as the infamous "hello world" would definitely run...

    check out the system requirements of .net framework 2...

    Sure, I am aware of that. But for a windows forms application, I was thinking more along the lines of
     - will it run on Win95/98/etc
     - what is the minimum memory requirement (for "hello world")
     - does it require a pentum class processor (or pentium 2 or 3)

    Never mind, I found it: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx FamilyId=7ABD8C8F-287E-4C7E-9A4A-A4ECFF40FC8E&displaylang=en

    "Supported Operating Systems: Windows 2000, Windows 98, Windows 98 Second Edition, Windows ME, Windows Server 2003, Windows XP"

    Yay!

    Paul,

    So a compiled app will not work on Win 98 or ME If that's the case, I'll just have to stick with VS.Net 2003.

    Does anyone from Microsoft/the VS team listen in here I would sure be nice with a clear statement regarding this.

    Thanks,

    Eyvind.
