.net framework v2 but want to run v1...

[lidds]

I have written a very simple application in vs2005. This application is using system.dll, system.drawing.dll and system.windows.forms.dll however because I have .net framework v2 on my computer it is using that version of the dll's. However the majority of the computers that I want to run this on e.g. over 500 have .net framework v1.1

When I try to run my exe on the other machines, it obviously tells me that this app requires .net framework v2 to run. Is there a way that I can get my app to use .net framework v1 instead?

I do not really want to install .net framework v2 on all the machines.

Thanks in advance

in the configuration settings of .net framework v2.0. u can shift settings of your application between v1.1 and v.2.0. either you want to use configuration of v1.1 or v2.0 by changing configuration.


Take Care

Thanks for the help, however I am still unsure where to make this change, is it possible for you to expand a bit more on how to go about making this change. Sorry for what might be a simple question )

Thanks

You need Visual Studio 2003 to develop .Net 1.1 applications. Strictly you only need .Net Framework 1.1 to compile files, but you would have to the work of IDE to create the solution and compile it. VS2005/.Net 2.0 solutions/assemblies are not backwards compatible with .Net 1.1.

There is also another IDE available and it's free too, SharpDevelop, download the .Net 1.1 version and re-create your application here.
