But business environments don't usually have a problem installing the. On the other hand, an awful lot of businesses still use windows 2000 machines in large numbers. You're more likely to see as windows 98 machine in a home than windows 2000, and not even Microsoft still supports windows 98. Home users ended up with (shudder)Windows ME instead, which was released about the same time, and for that reason have almost completely moved on to Windows XP. Are you deploying to business or home environments?Īlmost no home users have windows 2000. I'm also a little curious as to your windows 2000 requirement.
That will install just fine on windows 2000 with no trouble, and you can target it from Visual Studio 2008 if you need to. Of course, that limits you to the mono implementation of the framework, which is getting better but is still incomplete in a few places.īased on your various comments, my best suggestion is to use version 2.0 of the framework. You can use mono to static-link all the framework dlls you need.
