You have to install the .net redistributable first ... dotnetfx.exe. This can be downloaded from Microsoft. You have the option of using the install package to install the framework before the application installs. Check out this article on Microsoft's site:

"Using Visual Studio .NET to Redistribute the .NET Framework"

This will be true with anything .NET... the Framework has to be installed on the computer (including Microsoft Data Access Controls 2.7 [I think, might be 2.6], Internet Explorer 6, and IIS).

Our plant installs in this order:

1) MDAC
2) Internet Explorer update
3) IIS
4) .NET Framework
5) .NET apps

You may not have to install all those extra components, but you should check to make sure they're in place.

There's no place like 127.0.0.1.

benlinkknilneb,

I haven't used 2003 much yet. Are you sure you have to install IIS on client computers?

 

[kcj402003]

No, you don't have to install IIS on your client workstations.

Whoops... that was for installing Visual Studio itself... sorry 'bout that.

MDAC 2.6 or higher is needed if your application use the SQLClient function of ADO.NET.

The .NET framework is needed on every PC that runs your application.
