I have an Visual Basic .Net application that runs fine on Windows XP but when
I run it on Windows 98 I get the following message;
Application has generated an exception that could not be handled.

That would probably because you can't run .Net on a platform prior to
Windows 2000.

.NET runs on any Windows from Win98SE or later. Of course, something is only
avaible to NT (NT4, 2K and XP) platform. If your .NET app has to run on
Win98/Me, you have to make sure you do not use some .NET thing that is only
availlable to NT platform. Also, if you place "try...catch..." properly, you
should be able to catch that unhandled exception and hanlde is properly.

Well, it actually depends on the Framework version. .Net 2.0 will not run on
any system prior to Windows 2000.

I'd rather be a hammer than a nail.
