Further to my question posted last week (VB6 or VB.NET?) is there a minimum specification requirement to run applications developed with VB.NET i.e. will VB.NET programs run on older machines/operating systems?

Thanks,
Tubbs

(think it's for version 1.0, but 1.1 shoudn't be any different)

The prerequisite for a VB.NET program to run on any machine is that , the target machine must have the .NET Framework on it. The programs you write on the .Net framework are termed managed code and must run within the Common Language Runtime.. where issues such as gaabge collection are taken care of. As of now the framework is available on the windows platform only and this rules out you running your program on a non-windows OS. However it is envisaged that the framework will be available on other platforms in the near future.

The latest framework download is http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=262D25E3-F589-4842-8157-034D1E7CF3A3&displaylang=en

please note this for the redistributable version that will allow your program to run on the target machine.

System Requirements
Supported Operating Systems: Windows 2000, Windows 98, Windows ME, Windows NT, Windows Server 2003, Windows XP

Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 requires Service Pack 6a.

Hope this helps
