vb.net only on win2000/xp

  • 18 years ago

    How come vb.net says to me that it needs win 2000 or XP to install?

    the .net framework sdk only can be installed on win2000/xp/win nt 4.0... not sure why, but it obviously needs some NT functionality that is not present in the old windows 9x line.... so if you want to develop vb.net applications you'll have to upgrade your OS.... (which, given the reliablity of win2000/xp, might be a good idea anyway).


    Of course, any apps you develop will still run on older systems... you just can't compile/run vs.net on them.
