    Run a VB.Net application on Win98

    Hi All

    Did anyone tried to run a VB.Net application on Win98?

    I tried that, installed the .Net framework then installed the my application, but I am getting the following error message:

    "Common Language Runtime Debugging Services"
    “Application has generated an exception that could not be handled.
    Process id=0xfle3097(-1896553)…….”

    Any idea what could this error?

    Thanks for the help

    I have deployed a VB.NET application to 98, and I believe I received the same error as stated. If memory serves, the destination PC didn't have a particular component that the app was referencing.

    Also, are you targeting framework 1.1 or 1.0?

    since I am just about to deploy a system onto windows 98, did you have any success in determining the missing component?

    I think...
    If you had error handling in your code , then you would get more specific error description . I know this sounds irrelative but actually it helps you in such situations .

    Here's the benefit of my limited experience:

    I've only installed one program on one PC running Win98SE.

    I didn't get any fatal errors as described, although the program behaviour wasn't quite as expected. I was having problems with accelerator keys not working, textboxes not highlighting, odd behaviour with list re-ordering and other stuff.

    I don't think I'd recommend developing for Win98. I strongly agree with the previous comment about error trapping. If you use Try-Catch-EndTry structures throughout your code and throw helpful system exceptions you may well be able to sort it out.
    This world is not my home. I'm just passing through.

    I don't think your app can run on Windows 98 at all. It was never designed to do so.

    VB.net is designed to run on WindowsXP, Windows2000, and the newer flavors. (It probably can't hang with Windows NT.)

    Wrong , sorry . This problem doesn't mean it won't run on W98 but sort of version problems . This could happen on any OS *but* I agree with the ppl who recommend not desgining app for old OSs.

    I dont know what happened to him, but just to share my experience with testing an app on win98:
    It would give me error messages and wouldnt run. I had to lower the security for .NET applications in control panel before I could get it to work

    Yes sure...

    Your need to install the following:
    1. IE6 SP1
    2. MDAC 2.7 Service Pack 1
    3. Microsoft .NET Framework Version 1.1 Redistributable Package
    http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...DisplayLang=en
    4. Then your application

    HTH
