How-to try your .net programs on a not .net systems?

Here is excerpt from dotnet mail list
(http://discuss.develop.com/archives/...t&F=&S=&P=1606).
Worked for me!


Step 1)
Copy mscoree.dll and msvcr70.dll from your winnt/system32 directory to the
directory of your program (so windows can find the files, you can copy these
in the system directory of win 98 if you want, but you dont have to)

Step 2)
Export the Following Registry Keys:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\COMPlus]
And change their values (on the client (non-sdk) machine)
to a 'base' directory
(In My Case:
"InstallRoot"="E:\WINNT\Microsoft.NET\Framework"
"Version"="v1.0.2204"
"sdkInstallRoot"="E:\Program Files\Microsoft.Net\FrameworkSDK"
"sdkSamplesRoot"="E:\Program Files\Microsoft.Net\FrameworkSDK\Samples"

became

"InstallRoot"="D:\Base"
"Version"="v1.0.2204"
"sdkInstallRoot"="D:\Base"
"sdkSamplesRoot"="D:\Base"
)

Step 3)
Make a directory called 'v1.0.2204' in the 'base' directory

Step 4)
Copy the following files from your \WINNT\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.0.2204
Directory to that directory:

mscorwks.dll
mscorlib.dll
gdiplus.dll
mscorjit.dll
fusion.dll
sortkey.nlp
culture.nlp
sorttbls.nlp

Step 5)
Copy all files to that directory which your program needs (all files you
link
against (the /r:blah.dll in csc)

so in my case these were:

System.dll
System.Drawing.dll
System.WinForms.dll
System.Net.dll
Microsoft.Win32.Interop.dll

If this doesn't work, copy the entire
\WINNT\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.0.2204
directory to the 'base' directory, run your program (which should work),
and
start deleting files from the 'base' directory, because windows locks the
files
which are needed for execution, you cannot delete those files, which leaves
you with the bare minimum

see, not so hard at all. Enjoy.

Install the framework on them.

I think Alex's post was to point out a less-intrusive option to a full
framework install.

Well, there isn't one. In fact, its unclear whether there will ever be one
(I think MS is relying on everyone just *having* the framework).

Yes, there is. For the "adventerous souls" (like the subject says), try
the steps outlined in the message at the beginning of this thread.

Yes. Or if they don't, MS is expecting them to *download!* it... :O

Can't you simply run comredist.msi?

Works on NT...
