Visual Basic Help

Hey guys.

Im using visual basic to make a small application that writes a text document. I using visual basic express edition 2005. And it works fine for me but when i compile the exe and send it to a mate who doesnt have the newest framework installed he cant run it. It says he must install the framework

How can I fix this? Its not like it uses anything special I just want it to run off an old framework or something.

Your mate will need the .NET 2.0 framework! As simple as that I'm afraid.

But, If this mate doesnt have it none of my others will. I plan to release it along with a game.

Well if you cannot ensure they don't have the framework (2.0) then use another development environment and ship all the required DLLs etc or send em the 2.0 framework.

The framework is like 400 megs!?

Oh well. I think Ill just do it in blitz then, but vb is so much quicker for what i wanted to do

If you do it in PB I think it can be under 100K or so.

Pb?

PB = Purebasice methinks

or powerbasic... either one...




I think you got a severe case of Exaggeratitis... Might want to use some topical cream or something to clear that up. :)

vb6? It's still VB and would require little or probably no extra runtime files as most machines would have the basic vb runtime stuff anyhow. But! To be sure you would still need to ensure that they are included - easiest way would be to use the supplied installer jobby.

I could have swore it was massive ;)

Oh well thanks for the help guys, I think ill just do it in blitz.
