Originally posted by razorksu Is there anyway to run a .NET application on an OS that doesn't have .NET installed? Is there some DLL I can put in the working directory?
Nope. Like any other platform you can't run programs for built on top of the platform without the platform itself. It's the same sort of situation as needing windows to run a win32 application, or needing the Flash plugin to run flash content. If it's win98se or winME I know the 1.0 and 1.1 framework can be installed. I'm not sure if 98fi is supported of not.
Note that on 9x though there are some aspects of the .NET framework which function slightly differently. This is sometimes due to an APIs that didn't exist in earlier versions, but most often just because of the behavior differences between 9x and NT machines.
