Hi,

I have worked with C#B for some time now but have not
deployed any applications until today. Now I want to send a customer
a small utility app for testing purposes. The customer runs WinXP.
When he tries to start the app he gets an error about a wrong
version of one of the mscor* assemblies and the app terminates.

Now after comparing the versions on our machines I have
runtime 1.1 and his XP has 1.0.

My question is:
What is the general approach to deploy an application?
It looks like when I develop with version 1.1 I have to ask
the user to install 1.1 too. Is there a way to build an app so
that it only requires 1.0 runtime, even when my development machine
has 1.1? (Given that 1.0 has all required functionality...)

I have no idea how many users have 1.1 installed. But it looks like
an app written for 1.0 could run on every newly installed XP. So
for a small app it would probably be overkill to ask every user to
download the ~20 mb update??

Thanks for any ideas!
Nick
