    Re: deployment into longhorn

    Sounds like it should be possible to install it on Longhorn but if you remember how if you tried to install something from
    98 on a NT platform it wouldnt allow it? Its because the two OS' have different kernal formats and are not compatible. If your using
    VB6 then I'm not sure but if your using .NET then its compatible BUT there are issues that you need to program for in advance or it
    wont run. Longhorn's major features are based on the .NET Framework so if your using .NET you only need to worry about the
    Code Access Security (CAS) model.

    Here is the WinFX SDK page from MS that should help to answer any other questions.
