.net framework v2 but want to run v1...

[lidds]

I have written a very simple application in vs2005. This application is using system.dll, system.drawing.dll and system.windows.forms.dll however because I have .net framework v2 on my computer it is using that version of the dll's. However the majority of the computers that I want to run this on e.g. over 500 have .net framework v1.1

When I try to run my exe on the other machines, it obviously tells me that this app requires .net framework v2 to run. Is there a way that I can get my app to use .net framework v1 instead?

I do not really want to install .net framework v2 on all the machines.

Thanks in advance

No. If your code was written under v2 then it will need v2 to run.

Two questions:

Why are not the other machines updated?
Do you have a machine available to you that runs v1?

Include the .NET v2 framework install with your installation

You could use the Bootstrapper to install 2.0 from your installation package.

If he installs v2 with his app, won't it overlay v1?

No, it will run side by side.
