What happens when the .NET Framework is not installed?

Does anyone know what error message will be displayed

when someone tries to run an application developed with .NET

on a computer where the .NET Framework is not installed? ex) original Windows XP.

will it tell you the error message that the .NET Framework is not installed? or won't any helpful messages be displayed?

I tried running .NET 2 application in Windows XP RTM cache environment.

I have two different errors:

and. The application failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect. Reinstalling the app may fix the problem.



b. Application failed to initialize properly (Invalid error code)

This suggests that the error you have chosen is not specific enough to predict.

Here you go .



When you create a .NET executable (.exe) file, copy the file to a computer where the .NET Framework is not installed, and then try to run the .exe file from that computer, you may receive the following error message (or messages):

Cannot Find DLL - The dynamic link library mscoree.dll could not be found in the specified path .
