What Windows versions work with VB.NET 2003 executable?

What Windows versions work with VB.NET 2003 executable?

I am trying to run a program on a Windows 98 using a Pentium 120. Will that work?

Something is not working?

Thanks,

It should work on all Windows versions that support the .NET framework.
The framework has to be installed.

Of course I installed the framework. There is something wrong when you
run on win 98. On MS site, it even says that VS will not work on it,
even NT4.0 will not work.

If I tell you the problem, then you will say the code is wrong, but now
it has been rewritten 3 different ways. It will work on XP, but not on
98. It will not get a file when a file string is given. But works fine
on XP, 3 different ways, but not on 98.

I am only using the 98 system for testing, the client has 2000, but I do
not want to bring a very busy client down, just to test this.

Visual Studio will not run on 98. Applications written with VS (and
compiled) however will. VS is only on 2000/XP if my memory serves me
right.

If it's VB 2003 you need the 1.1 framework, link here says the VB executable
will run on 98.

However VS 2003 isn't supported on Windows 98.

First off, get a copy of Virtual PC. Create a Virtual Machine for each OS
you want to test your application on. Then, you won't have to bother the
client to test the code on his machine.

Second, are you creating an installer, installing the app on Windows 98, and
trying to run it? I've not seen you say that you are doing all of these
steps.
I've written apps using .NET that I've tested on W98. They weren't fast, but
they ran.

I'm not going to suggest that you coded it wrong. Only that you have an
installation problem.

If you place NUnit tests into your code, can you run the tests on the W98
machine to see what results you are getting? I find that this method of
using unit test code is quite effective at pinpointing the bits of code that
vary when we run on a different platform.

I hope this helps.
