VB.NET deploy requirement?

[James Wong \(Infrasys\)]

I am newbie of VB.NET.

In VB6, we need to deploy at least the VB6 runtime libraries and other
associated DLL and OCX ... how's about the VB.NET ? what are the scenarios
of deployment with different windows platforms .. WIN9X/ME/2K/XP .... ?

Any reference information ?

Thks

James,
There are TWO (2) situations:

1) If the .NET Framework IS NOT already installed on the PC -
a)the the Installation of your NEW app requires that the CLR (Common Language
Runtime - essentially the .NET Framework) be installed first.

b)Then the MANIFEST for your application can be copied (yes just copied)
to the Target PC, and off it goes - not DLLs need to be "installed" in the
sense that DLLs were installed with VB6.

2) If the .NET Framework IS already installed on the target PC (and this
will be more and more common, with new releases of the MS operating systems
for instance), then proceed from 1b) above - simply copy the MANIFEST of
the new application to an appropriate directory, and off it goes

Also, be aware that you can NOT deploy to Win95 machine.

James: Please do not crosspost to vb.dotnet.discussion and
vb.dotnet.technical. The .technical group is for technical questions (like
yours); the .discussion group is for non-technical discussion (rants and
arguments, mostly). Thanks!
