vc++ compilation question.

[trustno1]

hi, if i create a vc++(/w visual studio.net under winxp pro) application and compile it using the option 'use mfc in static library'.. will this application work under win2k, win98 and winnt without crashing or require the user to download some kind of windows updates to get it working? if i create a setup files using visual studio.net's 'setup and deployment projects'>'setup wizard', will these setup files works on win98, winnt and win2k? thx in advance.

That's impossible to answer without knowing what your program does. As long as you only use features that are in all those OSes, the app should work (in theory). --Mike-- Looks like I picked the wrong week to stop sniffing glue. 1ClickPicGrabber - Grab & organize pictures from your favorite web pages, with 1 click!

I have recently writen a very simple application in WinXP with VC.NET in MFC with a simple use of an ODBC driver. To make it run on a Windows NT 4.0 workstation, I must install NTSP6 (if not installed, missing DLL error message when launching the application)
