probleam in deployment

[Guest]

i prepair a database application and create its setup.when i install this setup on windows 95,98,2000 that time it give me error messes ".net framework is not install"
when i install it then my application run sucessfully. my problem is it install whole .netframework and its size is near to 40MB. and my application size is 1mb. so it can be possible to run my application without install whole .net framwork. i want to know the require dll files to run my application. i also want to run this application on linux and other OS.

(2) how can i attech database with my setup, i use sql server 7.0 in backend, it is good to attech msde or whole sql server, and how?



i hope reply will be soon. if u don't know the ans. then pls tell me whom to i ask to solve this problem means give other experts name.

bye
thanks

Hi,

Running .NET applications requires the .NET framework to be present on
client machines. I can't remember the name of it, but there's a program that
supposedly works out which bits of the framework your application needs, and
packages those bits up for you to deploy. However, the two things that would
stop me doing this are a) I'm not sure about licensing restrictions on
distributing the framework that way and b) it seems like a very unsafe way
of doing things - it's much safer to install the entire framework. The
framework download should be around 20MB.

With regard to running under linux and other OSs, there's a project called
Mono (go-mono.org) that's providing the .NET framework for other OSs and has
a C# compiler as well. It's still being improved, and I haven't used it (I
don't think there's a Mac OS X port yet and we don't program for linux) but
it's well worth keeping an eye on.

With regards to point 2, you're probably best asking this under one of the
..msi newsgroups.
