Hi, I did a batch build on a 2005 .net windows app and copied the exe file to
a machine running windows windows 2000. When I tried to run it I got the
error missing dll mscoree.dll. I then tried to run it on another machine
with windows xp and the error was missing .net frame work. Just wondering to
install on the windows 2000 machine should I do a project installer and if I
do this will I still need to install the .net framework on the 2000 machine?
thanks.
 
I would use ClickOnce which has built-in functionality for detecting and
installing missing dependencies like the .Net Framework. I still use
the setup projects sometimes but any extra functionality starts to get
overly complex compared to ClickOnce.
 
Hi thanks for the response. Just wondering is the ClickOnce run from visual
studio 2005 and where is it, as far as what tool bar?

ok found it thanks. So you do not even need to install the framework on the
target machine if you perform the install?
 
Hi thanks for the response. I was able to locate the prereq and selected
..net framework. I also selected install from same location as project
(c:\projectfolder).
Do I need to put the .net 2.0 framework msi program at this location
c:\projectfolder or is it already taken care of?
