sethindeed Posted February 13, 2003 Posted February 13, 2003 I am looking ahead to make my app the smallest I can. I am only using windows forms, module, classes and OLE connection. I've heard that every user will have to install on their machines the framework ( over 20 megs ) in order to be able to run a VB.net app. This is really sad news, because I was looking ahead to optimise my program to be the smallest in size possible. What I have heard is lies ? Can I still hope to be able to deliver a 200k app, setup included ? Quote What I don't know keeps me excited...
*Experts* Volte Posted February 13, 2003 *Experts* Posted February 13, 2003 You do indeed need the framework (20+ megs), but you don't need to include that in the setup if you don't want. If you wish to assume that the user has it already, or give them a link to download it from, then you can keep your program fairly small. I don't think it will be under 200k, but it will be fairly small. Quote
sethindeed Posted February 13, 2003 Author Posted February 13, 2003 Is there any applications that have this framework other than visual studio.net ? (like Office XP for example ) If so, we can ask for some requirements regarding installed software. If not, I will have to find a solution... Quote What I don't know keeps me excited...
*Experts* Volte Posted February 13, 2003 *Experts* Posted February 13, 2003 Well, I don't know about that. I think WinXP SP1 has it, and the new Windows .NET will definately have it. Try searching the MSDN for specifics about deploying applications. Quote
sethindeed Posted February 13, 2003 Author Posted February 13, 2003 I'll have a look in MSDN thanx. But I have difficulty to understand that Microsoft has developped a web friendly technology but asks the user for 20+ megs required files. Typical. Nevermind ;) Quote What I don't know keeps me excited...
