Visual Studio 2019 vb.net Windows Form Standalone exe for Windows 7
-
I have been exploring VS 2019 to run on my Windows 7 Pro 64 bit computer I will also use SQLite as a database I check the versions of net framework installed and I see 4.0 full When I start reading various MS documents the confusion starts My question is it possible to create a Standalone EXE that will run on my Windows 7 machine? My language will be Visual Basic or the proper MS term vb.net Some of us are so old we used VB6 with InnoSetup those days are long gone I have used JavaFX 8 to create the application but this language lacks some features like spell checking

Yes, you can create an .EXE that works on Windows 7. You just have to have the version of the .NET Framework you write the code against installed on the machine to run the app. The problem you're eventually going to run into is Windows 7 has been out of support for over a year now. Future versions of the .NET Framework, other frameworks, and Visual Studio itself will not be guaranteed to work on it. And you're not getting security updates for it either.
