    Basic Requirements for PC Application

    Hi

    I need to develop a standalone PC application which I
    would like todo using .NET C# and the MSDE however my
    question is what would the basic system requirements for
    this be and am I excluding a huge potential audience by
    using my preferred technology?

    For example would VB6, MS Access database be a better
    approach?

    thanks for your views in advance

      It's impossible to know Andy. Depending upon what your app does and who
      your target audience is any choice could impact the "potential" audience.
      But it isn't likely that using the .Net Framework and MSDE would
      significantly reduce that number...

      You also have to weigh the "you have to finish it" factor. So if you can
      get it working reliably and completed faster using .Net that offsets the
      loss of the Win'95 crowd as potential buyers.

          Hi Andy,

          Thanks for your post. Generally speaking, the target system need to install
          .NET Framework Redistributable in order to execute a .NET C# application.
          The .NET Framework 1.1 Redistributable can be installed on Windows
          98/ME/NT4Sp6a/XP/2000/2003 systems. Please refer to the following link:

          However, MSDE 2000 for Visual Studio .NET supports Windows XP/2000/2003 as
          documented in the article below. If your application need to be executed on
          Windows 98/ME systems, I suggest that you can use lower MSDE version or MS
          Access database.

          Please feel free to let me know if you have any problems or concerns.

          Have a nice day!
