    Hello, I just finished a small application from VB.NET and tried to install onto my PCs as a test. The install worked fine on my Win 2000 PC and the program launches fine. However, when launching the application from my Win 98 machine, I am getting the error that the _294823.exe is not a valid Win32 application. Firstly, I'm not sure why it's being refered to as _294823.exe. My application name is Timer Utility.exe. When installing, I got the error that I didn't have the .NET Framework, of which I've gone and installed after this error and before installing my application. Your help is greatly appreciated. Thanks so much! Vi

      Did you install the same version of the .NET Framework as the one used to write and compile the app? Installing the 1.0 Framework will NOT allow you to run an app compiled on the 1.1 Framework. RageInTheMachine9532

        Hi Dave, Thanks for getting back to me. I installed the same .NET Framework that came with my VB.NET . It's really odd. Vi
