A web dev's education: .NET-developed Win32 apps won't neccesarily run on PCs without the CLR (or, &quot;Yes, Virginia, I am a moron&quot;)http://weblogs.asp.net/jasonsalas/archive/2004/08/16/214903.aspxThis pretty much sums up my technical acumen outside the comfortable confines of development for the World Wide Web, thereby confirming much speculation that I'm an idiot, but a collaborative project with a friend hit an interesting roadbump when I realizedenCommunityServer 2007 SP1 (Build: 20510.895)re: A web dev's education: .NET-developed Win32 apps won't neccesarily run on PCs without the CLR (or, "Yes, Virginia, I am a moron")http://weblogs.asp.net/jasonsalas/archive/2004/08/16/214903.aspx#215390Mon, 16 Aug 2004 23:04:00 GMTc06e2b9d-981a-45b4-a55f-ab0d8bbfdc1c:215390Jason SalasJason SalasAs I understand it (anyone with more accurate knowledge than I feel free to jump in anytime), the only OS that ships with .NET support is Win2003. To get a .NET-compiled program to work on a machine without .NET installed requires downloading the 23.5MB .NET Framework Runtime. <br> <br>It's bascially .NET or .not. :(<img src="http://weblogs.asp.net/aggbug.aspx?PostID=215390" width="1" height="1">re: A web dev's education: .NET-developed Win32 apps won't neccesarily run on PCs without the CLR (or, "Yes, Virginia, I am a moron")http://weblogs.asp.net/jasonsalas/archive/2004/08/16/214903.aspx#215097Mon, 16 Aug 2004 14:23:00 GMTc06e2b9d-981a-45b4-a55f-ab0d8bbfdc1c:215097LeonardLeonardSo, is there any chance that a .NET compiled project be run on a machine without the framework ?<img src="http://weblogs.asp.net/aggbug.aspx?PostID=215097" width="1" height="1">
