    .NET 2, Win98

    I have developed a .NET2 app in VS2008 but it wont install on Win98 (A
    required DLL is missing). Can anyone tell me what I need to install on
    Win98 to run the MSI?

    Thanks

    Pete

      .NET 2.0 is supported on Windows 98. You can also download it (and see
      the system requirements) here:

      Did you install the .NET 2.0 framework?

      Install that then try to install it again. Though I'm not sure if you can
      run .NET apps on 98, (though i never tried it)

          Yes, the .NET 2 framework is already installed. When I try to run the MSI
          file it tells me a DLL is missing. If I try to run the setup.exe file that
          the install project also creates I get an error telling me that I need a
          newer version of Windows.

          If I copy the files directly onto the Win98 box and run it I get a vague
          error message telling me that the application has generated an exception
          that could not be handled. As the SDK wont install I can't see how I can
          discover what the exception is.

              It sounds like the version of windows installer that your msi requires isn't
              there. It looks like Installer 3.1 is not supported on win 98. I remember
              some setting on the prerequisites page for the installer properties that
              asked which installer to use. I don't have full VS at home now so I cannot
              confirm the page.

                  Have you tried a dependency walker to see what DLL is missing ?
