    Getting VB.NET Application to run on win 95/98

    Hello,

    How can I create a windows (not console) application in vb.net (developed on win NT) and deploy and execute it on a pc running win 95/98?

    When I just copied my executable to the other pc it gave a missing XXXXXX.dll type error message.

    Many thanks,

    Neil.

    You will need the .NET framework installed on the computer, I don't think that you can install the .NET Framework on win95.
    That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.

    How do I get .net

    Cheers for the prompt reply.

    However, how do I get .net framework? Is it in VB.net, and can it be included in the exe distribution?

    Apologies for the questions, but this is the first day of VB!

    The .NET framework Redistributable can be downloaded from msdn.microsoft.com.

    I found it on the component CD that came with VB.NET Standard. The file is dotnetfx.exe

    You can also tell your users to download it from the windows update site and save yourself from having to distribute it yourself.
