I have an application that uses the .NET framework 3.5. I am building this application for a college to help students to study. Most students usually have Windows XP SP2, Windows Vista, or Windows 7. (Sorry Mac users! The Mac version will come out in about 6 months) What version of the .NET framework is installed on Windows XP, Vista, and 7; and will my application run on all of those platforms?

    From other SO questions:

    • Windows 7 – 3.5
    • Vista – 2.0 and 3.0
    • XP – not installed
    • XP SP2 – not installed
    • XP SP3 – not installed

    If you want to be certain that you application runs on all of these, you will have to install the framework yourself – use SmallestDotNet.com for this.
