Does anyone know what error message will be displayed
when someone tries to run an application developed using .NET
on a computer where .NET Framework is not installed? ex) Windows XP original.
will the error message tell you that .NET Framework is not installed?
or will it not show any useful messages?
I tried running a .NET 2 application on an Windows XP RTM Clone.
I got 2 different errors:
a. The application failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect. Reinstalling the application may fix the problem.
b. Application failed to initialize properly (Some error code)
This suggests that the error thrown is not specific enough to predict.
