Missing DLL

If I build a debug or release version of a C# program using VS .Net and try
to run the app on a W98 machine, I get the following error:
A required .DLL file, MSCOREE.DLL, was not found.

Are the apps created not compatible with an older Windows o/s? That doesn't
make sense to me. How can I add the required DLL(s).

Thank You
 
No, I have not. Can I do this on a W98 machine? I use .net passports on the
W98 machine. Can I make the assumption that the majority of W95, W98 and NT
boxes will not be able to run exe created with VS .Net?

Thank You
 
Here are the requirements for installing the framework 1.0 (If you used VS
2002) :
http://msdn.microsoft.com/netframework/previous/v1.0/sysreqs/default.aspx
look at ".NET Framework Redistributable" part

For the framework 1.1 look there (If you used VS 2003) :
http://msdn.microsoft.com/netframework/technologyinfo/sysreqs/default.aspx
look at ".NET Framework Redistributable" part


By the way, on Windows95 you cannot install the framework. Versions above
are ok.
What you need to do is to install the framework onto the machine you plan to
run an application developped under .NET.

Note: ASP.NET Web applications and XML Web services can only be hosted on
Windows XP Professional, Windows 2000, and Windows Server 2003

Using .NET passports doesn't mean you have the .NET framework installed
- it's not really the same thing at all.

Windows 95 doesn't support .NET at all.
Windows 98 supports the framework, but not the SDK.
Windows NT 4 supports both - I don't know about NT 3.51.

However, all of them need to have the framework installed on them -
it's available as a freely redistributable package though (about 20Mb).
 
Thanks to you both. I downloaded the .Net 1.1 from the Microsoft updates on
one 98 box and had know problem setting up a C# client / server app between
XP and 98. I am very hesitant to download updates because I had them lock up
my XP machine in the past. Tech support is even aware and has not removed
the buggy updates. Not a bad start for someone more comfortable with UNIX.

Thanks.
