.NET Forum / Languages / VB.NET / December 2005A little bit of .net framework and XP history question
We are working with a hardware vendor that has a device that works fine on Win98SE. The code even makes sure it has the VB6 run time library. On our windows XP machine it goes belly up. (it appears that a method of some unknow DLL is not there) All our XP machines have .net framework 1.1 on it. The vendor claims it works on his XP machine. Is there any version of XP that did not have the .net framework in it, or would have supported the VB6 RTL?? Thanks for any and all assistance. (Cross posted in windowsxp.basics) Hi, The dot net framework has never been included in windows xp or any of its service packs. It must be installed. Windows 2003 includes the dot net framework 1.1.

Do certain applications require the installation of .net framework on a windows XP. One of our guys has XP home, and I had him check the .net framework version and it was the same as the one I have with an XP Pro Machine on which I had installed VB.net. So I take it some application he added (he does cad/cam work) required him to install the .net framework. Is that a fair assumption? I think I need to spend a day understanding the differences. > Hi, > [quoted text clipped - 16 lines] >> >> (Cross posted in windowsxp.basics) Hi, Some applications like microsoft small business accounting will install the dotnetframework for you. So yes there is good change he did install the framework before. Ken ------------- > Color me embarassed.

Is that a fair assumption? AutoCAD 2005 installs .NET 1.1 (not sure about prior versions) Greg Al_C In addition to the others, At least here is a computer often/mostly delivered preinstalled. The framework is than as well often standard installed, so the user does not recognize that. This of course only for newer computers. Cor > Color me embarassed.

It turns out that the dot net framework is an option to install on XP SP2 and the default is to install it (this from reading other blogs) So my guess is that all our XP machines that are running this product were set up to have .net, otherwise the software would have bombed. I will need to pursue this further.
