Re: Which .net framework version is installed on most systems?

hear hear and well said, now that I am back on the list actively and know about 3.5 I'll be installing it on my system as well, if you use a .net function, the application will since they added the boot strapper in 1.1 go get what they need, so you might as well develop in the most advanced version available, as said, if they don't have it when they install, the system should go get it, or at least offer to get it. 

HTH,

Well the difference between the versions is how much functionality you will need from the .net framework itself. version 2 will have more functions available to it than version 1 etc. etc. But as I said, 2 has been a bit more widely used thus far. Also keep in mind that if you create an installer in Visual Studio 2005 and up it will most times check the users computer and if it needs to have .net installed then it will ask them if they want to install it. I would recommend though if you are creating a new project that will require .net go ahead and use the latest version of .net available because the updates may also be Microsoft bug fixes that were present in previous versions. ----- Original Message ----- From: "public.niran" <public.niran@xxxxxxxxx>

Yes, .net 2.0 looks like the best choice, but how good are the chances that users may already have it? Also what about .net1.1? Should .net1.1 be completely out of my concideration? Is there any value for the thought that since .net1.1 is one of the oldest framework version it is likely that most users may already have it? 

My personal choice is .net 2.0 though.
Also can .net3.X will be able to run .net 2.0 apps or it is necessary to have .net2.0 installed. 

Thanks,
Niran

It would mostly depend on what OS you are developing for. For XP .net 2.0 is probably the most widely used. For Vista either .net 3.0 or 3.5. ----- Original Message ----- From: "public.niran" <public.niran@xxxxxxxxx>

Hi,
Does anyone here have any idea about which .net framework version is most widely installed? Does targetting a specific .net version improves the chanse that users may not need to download and install the .net runtime. 

Any thoughts are welcome.
