I want to develop a application for Windows XP, without any framework installed, so what framework is pre-installed on XP and were can i get a compiler for it(dosen't care if it is Command line).
 
If you mean .NET application, you need .NET Frmaework installed. Period. The
only Windows system that comes with .NET framework is Windows 2003 Server
currently.

..NET apps aren't going to run without the framework. If you have all of the
service packs, you should have the 1.1 and 1.0 frameworks. The Framework
SDK will give ou vbc.exe and csc.exe which all you to compile .NET apps.

Why can't i run .net apps on xp without installing the .net framework, isn't there any framework preinstalled on xp? What about MSN Messenger it is made in .net and can run on a xp pc with only the pre-installed software.
 
Hi Rasmus,

Why is the subject Net in XP while you do not want Net (framework) in XP?

Strange question. You want any framework, and ask which framework is
pre-installed.

I do not understand this at all, however that will be probably my fault.

It wasn't on any of the versions I used. XP came out before the Framework
was finalized.
What about MSN Messenger it is made in .net and can run on a xp pc with
only the pre-installed software.

If it's made in .NET , it's running on the framework. Depending on the
version of XP, who knows, maybe the loaded the service packs. What version
are you talking about btw, I can't find any refernce to it? If it's really
written in .NET, it's got to be the later versions... which language, do you
know?
 
I just Ran ILDASM on my versino of messenger and it sure wasn't written in
..NET

well
here is the answer
Whether you like it or not, you ABSOLUTELY need the .Net framework to be installed on the machine that is going to host any .NET apps
Secondly, Win XP pro does not ship with .Net Framework pre-installed, unless you can petition Microsoft to do that special favor for you, but Win XP HOME edition i believe does ship with .Net framewor
So either download it from the MSN website or install Windows XP Home/Windows 2003

Ciao!
 
I don't know what version of xp it is but the copyright says ????-2001 so probarly from 2001. I don't know if messenger is written in .net but the version that ships with xp 2001 have a .net logo
 
As far as I know the only thing that is '.NET' about messenger is the alerts
function.

It is unfortunate naming by MS.

If you have MSN Messenger go to the Help/Service Status page and see the
..NET Messenger Service.
And some people wonder why there is confusion.
