What should i do?

Install the .NET framework on the mahine to run it on.

Dose that mean if i produced a program every user should install .NET frame work on his computer to run my program !?

Shet after all that work i found a big fake proplem
i was making programs creating exe and then publish

is there any way to add some dlls in the exe folder to run it with out .NET framework

I'm afraid so . you must install the .NET Framwork on any PC that has VS.NET applications.
No way to add some dll files

No there is not.

So i think the best way to go back to vb 6
And all of my work on VB.NET will gone with the wind **** to Microsoft

No bad words in this forums like f*** So no bad words like vb.net

is there any way to convert my project from vb.net ---> vb6

[Cander]

Sorry but you can only blame yourself. Don't jump into a language until you know how it works and what is required.

[Edneeis]

There is no .NET to VB6 converter sorry. Although with VB6 you still need the runtime files and MDAC and what not so you'll have the same problem. At least with .NET all you need is the same framework for all programs and now extra installs for controls or different versions.

[Tnen]

but in vb6 you can easily add these runtime files in the exe folder and it will run with out needing to any setup program

any way i have to make my project again on vb6

Something to remember is also that this is (hopefully) a problem for some time as Microsoft and other Software companies are from now on adding the framework to the OS..... that means that in the future when Companies get the new OS's you should not have to install anything to make things work (of course you have to add references used from COM, but that is something that MS want us to try to not do). But up until then you unfortunatly have to install the framework on the clients that not has it.

Another thing is that when you instaleed the framework, all you new applications work on that machine, you dont have to install it twice.

[Tnen]

Do you mean that the new Windows.NET includes th .NET frame work

[Shaggy Hiker]

That would make sense.

How about if somebody would wite a program that would check for the Framework and install as needed?

[Edneeis]

You can do that from a Setup package. I don't remember exactly how but I saw an article in the help about doing that very same thing.

The way I would do it would be to produce a "read me first" doc telling them they must download the .NET Framework in order to run your program:

http://download.microsoft.com/downlo...tnetredist.exe

that way, your download will be smaller (the .NET framework is 20mb!) plus I think Microsoft took out the ability to include it in later versions of VB .NET, but i'm not entirely sure.
