Hi all

Does every exe file generated by vb 2008 express edition
need a NET enviroment instaled on the
target computer that this exe runs on it ?

The target computer is other then the computer that hosts the VB compiler .

You're in the wrong newsgroup. This is a Visual Basic group and the product
you are using is not Visual Basic, depite the name that has been dishonestly
assigned to it by Micro$oft in their attempt to get their hands on as much
of our money as possible by pretending it is something it is not. As far as
I know the target computer for a VB 2008 program will need the massively
bloated net environment installed, but just to be sure you would be better
off asking the question in a VB.Net group. Try:

    microsoft.public.dotnet.languages.vb

Mike,

Microsoft directs all messages for Visual Basic Net to this newsgroup.

Not sure whether there should be a smiley after that ?

Or is it just a few .Net MVP's that keep replying in this group?

As you can see there *are* separate groups for .Net languages, so we don't
expect M$ to direct them here!

Could you please point out where this direction is taking place? MS
has said many times in the past that the ".vb." groups are for classic
VB. Where are they now saying the opposite?

Bullsh*t.

Only a few runaway MVPs do that.  I'll be reporting you to MVPGA.
Again.

Hi RealInfo,

The .NET runtimes are needed on the client computer. They come with Vista,
Window7, 2008 etc, but Windows XP might not have them installed (Optional
via Windows Update; but many/most XP SP2 OEM machines include the .NET
framework).

For more info or any other questions on .NET best to ask in a dotnet
newsgroup such as:
microsoft.public.dotnet.general
microsoft.public.dotnet.languages.vb

yeah, SP2 CD have .NUT 1.1 to run .NET 2.0 apps you need to install .NUT 2
and so one. and incase you application use .NET components, you need to also
ship that particular version.

Keep upgrading and keep making changes to your code, when you move to
version to version. (read minor rewrite) '

that's cool, basically that's going boost the economy. hire programmers give
them jobs, let more and more money exarche hands and more tax will be
generated.

Like you could with most version from VB make selections what version you
would use, you can do that with the latest versions too.

You can beside your environment (mobile, web, PC) choose for 32bit or 64 bit.
But also for the Framework version that is installed.

Basicly it is for 2008 ersion 2.0 but then the assembly (exe) should not
been build for version 3.5 by instance. Framework 3.5 is compatible with 2.0,
so don't think that you have every time to add one (there has been an error
with that between 1.1 and 2.0 so as you have 1.1 and 2.0 you have to use both)

However, Visual Basic for Net is a Net version. That means that as other
Operating Version makers make versions for their operating sytems, it is
accoording those operating systems. This is a strategy unlikely to pervious
milenium where Microsoft was only promoting its own Win32 systems and
therefore avoiding typical Microsoft non Net parts in your program will make
it probably in future more portable.

I hope this gives an idea
