1) Does .NET framework ship standard on certain versions of Windows? 2) The reason for the question is that I wrote an internet explorer browser helper object in C# using Visual Studio 2003. Since I used .NET, which versions of Window can I run it on? 3) Do my users have to install the .NET framework to run my browser helper object? =?Utf-8?B?RG9qbw==?= wrote: > 1) Does .NET framework ship standard on certain versions of Windows?

SignatureGreetings Jochen Do you need a memory-leak finder ? http://www.codeproject.com/tools/leakfinder.asp Do you need daily reports from your server? http://sourceforge.net/projects/srvreport/ The only version that has the .NET framework installed by default is Windows Server 2003, I believe it has version 1.1 installed. The .NET framework shiped several months after XP, I think XP can detect .NET assemblies but cannot run them. The .NET framework has to be installed on machines in order to run .NET code.

XP can run .NET assemblies -in fact I develop using FW 1.1 /Visual Studio 2003 on an XP box. You still have to install the framework/s though. Believe you are correct with regards to Server 2003. p.s. any machine that the Framework can install on can run .net assemblies. Although what runs will probably depend upon how much the assembly deviates from the Core Framework. e.g. System.Windows namespace is specific to Win 32 so assemblies using this could only run on OS' using Win32.

I believe Christopher was actually saying that without the framework installed, XP can detect a .NET executable and tell the user that it requires .NET - this is better than earlier versions of Windows, which just give cryptic error messages.

My point was that no versions except 2003 server has the framework installed out of the box, it has to be installed at some later date. The .NET system requirements is located here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/netframework/technologyinfo/sysreqs/default.aspx Regarding the statement about XP recognizing .NET assemblies. The book "Applied Microsoft .NET Framework Programming" by J Richter has a detailed description about how .NET assemblies are loaded. Previous versions than XP requires some extra step in the load procedure compared to XP. Chris > quite clever this windows XP gadget thingamy ;) > Thx for clearing that one up -see what he meant now.
