how to run the program on win98?

[bamboosam]

i just made a easy console program use VB.net
after i got the exe file i try to run it on my win98 machine,
but it can not run , it says missing some DLL file,
so i want to ask , how can i make it run on win98,
i went to microsoft.com try to find .net framework for
win98,but i can not find it.

Oh? I ran the whole VS.NET on 98

You need to install the Windows Component Update CD on everything you're going to run it on (98 is the minimum, BTW - 95 is definitely not supported).

I successfully installed the .NET Framework onto WIN98 from the Component Update Disc but when I run setup.exe from the same disc I get prompted with :

"Microsoft Visual Studio cannot be installed on Microsoft Windows 95, Windows 98 or Windows ME. You must install Windows NT 4.0 or later and rerun setup"

Am I missing something to be able to install .NET on WIN98?

Which version do you have?

Beta 1 installed on 98 for me, but there might have been changes in later versions. Either way, I don't blame MS for not supporting 9x - it's a terrible development platform, just not stable enough.

they should allow their programs to be run on it though, they sure made enough versions of win9x (4 i believe)

95, 95OSR1, 95OSR2, 98, 98SE, ME

Anyway, they're moving away from the 9x legacy, and that means leaving support out in .NET.

Fair play to them, I say.
