Besides having to install the entire .NET framework on an
end user system, how can they use my application written
on an XP professional machine using C# and Vasiual Basic
from Visual Studio .NET 2003, if they are using some
system that is Windows 98 or above but don't have
the .NET framework?
 
They can't.

You can add the redistributable to your installer. There is an article on
MSDN online. The only other way is to go with a web app where all they need
is a browser.

Hi Greg,

Thanks for your reply. The web app idea really sounded
good, but my application needs to communicate, in some
sense or anther, directly to a device that is connected
through USB.

Thanks

Jimmy
 
Chris,

The problem with the No Touch Deployment is that it
requires the .NET framework on the user end. This is an
issue we are trying to escape.
Click to expand...

Applications written in VS.Net (except for unmanaged C++) cannot be run
without the framework. Although if you search these groups, there was a
mention of a company making a native compiler for .Net that would allow you
to create apps without requiring the .Net framework be installed.
