For almost a full week now(and going), the CI Host shared windows web
servers and email have been down, causing havoc for many of their
users. They were hit with a worm infection with which they were
completely unprepared.
CI Host has shown they are unreliable, unsecure and unresponsive.
Stay away from their services.

Curtis,

If your end user wishes to run .NET assemblies, then yes, they'll need to install the .NET framework. However, The latest service packs for Win2k have the .NET framework already in them, and are installed by default. So, if they've patched to SP4, then its quite possible the .NET framework is installed.

My question relates to your deployemnt method...are you deploying via a setup package, or just zipping the assemblies up? If your using a setup package, you can add some conditional logic to check for the proper .NET framework version, and prompt the user to install it if need be. This may be done by pointing them to the website to download the .NET framework, or by using a bootstrapper (http://www.gotdotnet.com/Community/Workspaces/Workspace.aspx?id=2f8f0a23-f529-4158-8e0a-d187d16f41f1).

Hi,

I've one simple question on the deployment of my software. If my target OS
platform is Win2k Pro, does the end-user is necessary to install the .NET
framework? Is it a must to install this framework, any other easy way to
acheive this? Thanks.

Regards,
Curtis Kam
