Releasing a VB application for use in a Win PE
-
I need some help here. First I have never replease a VB app before, so I'm new to this. Second details. The app is developed in Visual Studio VB 2010 under XP Pro SP3. It's to be run in Win PE for Windows 7. Now I know I'll have to have the .NET Framework installed on the Win PE disk, but can I just install the latest version or do I have to have all the versions available on the development machine? How do I release the application into the appropiate Win PE build area? The application uses the system.management namespace, do I have to manually copy the appropiate dll to build area or will be automatically there as part of .NET Framework install. Thank you in advance

Since the app is built using VS 2010, you'll need (atleast) .NET Framework 4.0 installed on the target computer. Starting .NET 4.0, Applications that are built to target '.NET 4.0 Client Profile' automatically install a trimmed version of .NET Framework 4.0 if it does not find .NET Framework 4.0 already installed.

Right answer unfortunately :( It looks like I'll have to have a rethink

C will be good, Delphi would be supported, VB6 would also be supported. You could also take a look at the CrossNet Compiler[^] if you "must" work in the .NET environment. Another alternative might be incorporating the Mono-runtime from a C application. The Preinstall Environment isn't meant to be used as a lightweight OS, and it'll be lacking all kind of stuff that you're grown used to in Windows. If you're looking for a small OS with .NET support, consider Knoppix with Mono. Hope this helps a bit more than the previous answer :)
