Application Not Working!!
-
Hi there, I am working on project using Visual Studio 2005 VB.NET. The problem is that when I try to run Application in non .NET platform (i.e. Windows XP but .net is not installed) it does not run(I know it won't)! Is there any way to develop non .net application in Visual Studio 2005??? It's urgent because I'm really stuck on this. Thanks ----------------------- Parth Patel

Yes - use C++ and make sure you don't use C++/CLI ( use MFC instead )
Christian Graus - Microsoft MVP - C++ "also I don't think "TranslateOneToTwoBillion OneHundredAndFortySevenMillion FourHundredAndEightyThreeThousand SixHundredAndFortySeven()" is a very good choice for a function name" - SpacixOne ( offering help to someone who really needed it ) ( spaces added for the benefit of people running at < 1280x1024 )

Thanks, Christian Graus But for me it would be just waste of time and everything if i develop this application again C++. This software is for school kids and the network do not have .NET installed on normal PCs and unfortunately as it has more than 150 workstations the Network Admin has refused to install it, which has just messed up everything... So before I go any further I just wanted to know if I can do it anyway around!!

You could use one of the few products that compiles the required parts of the .NET Framework into your .EXE. But, they're very expensive to buy and there are no "free" versions. If money is an issue, you simply have no alternatives. Either they install the .NET Framework, or you start rewriting in C++.

You could always create a setup package that will install the .NET Framework along with your app on those machines.
That decision is up to the people who own the machines, not the application. If they don't want to install the .NET Framework, you can't force them to do it.

Thanks for your reply. Do you know any software that will do what you said? Compile .NET code into EXE? Becuase I will then have to take decision.
Sure, Salamander[^] is only about $1300.

Parth, If you are a VB developer, you "could" always use VB 6.0. This would give you the ability to create an .exe that is not .NET framework dependent. However, it might be easier to simply sell the customer on installing the .NET framework since it won't impact their computer or installed programs and will provide them a migration path to Vista with your program.
