I’m writing a C# app (in VS 2008). If I target the .Net 3.5 framework, will it run on Windows XP and above? Will XP users potentially have to download a .Net upgrade?
UPDATE
If the app is intended for business / corporate environments do you think it’s pretty safe to target 3.5 rather than 2.0?
Only Windows 7 and newer will come with .NET 3.5 (SP1) pre-installed; Windows XP and Vista users, while able to run apps built on .NET 3.5, have to download and install it first in order to use your app.
I think the latest service packs of XP and Vista include .NET 3.5, though.
