Hi,
I have a MFC windows application orginally programmed in vc++ 6.0.I build the application in Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003 and able to deploy in windows xp embedded PC without installing any .NET framework in the target PC.I just compiled the code with 'use MFC in shared dll' option and carried MFC70.dll,msvcp71.dll and msvcr71.dll with the EXE.I m able to run the application without any problem.
When I compiled the same application using 'Microsoft Visual Studio 2005' and deploy in the target windows xp embedded PC (without installing any .NET framework) , I get the following error.
"This application has failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem."
I copied the required dependencies mfc80.dll,mfc80.dll and msvcp80.dll along with the EXE in the target PC.
I have the following queries regarding deploying application build in 'Microsoft Visual Studio 2005'
1.Do i need the framework to be installed in the target PC always?Is it not possible for me to just carry the required dependencies like when I built using 'Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003'?
2.Say,If I create an .NET activex and use it in my webpage.When the user browse the page, the activex will get installed in the PC and user can access to that activex.In this case for all the PC using this webpage , do I need to install the .NET framework to access the activex?
Please the experts can explain in detail.
Regards,
Nagarajan S

But can u explain how the below will work.
If I have a .NET activex that can be called when an user browse a particular page, the activex will get installed in the target PC.In that case, should the target PC must be installed with this runtime?
R the browser will have the pulgins to support .NET activex?
Please give some idea on this.Thanks in advance.
Setup and Deployment project in Visual Studio can create cabinet file for ActiveX control. Add such project to your ActiveX solution. Inside of project, add VC++ Runtime as prerequisite. Having this installation package, you can place ActiveX control on WEB page. When page is opened on client computer, VC++ 8.0 runtime is installed from cabinet file.

To run unmanaged C++ application built with VS 2005, install Visual C++ runtime on destination computer:
Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\SDK\v2.0\BootStrapper\Pa
If you make installation package using VS 2005 Setup and Deployment project, you can add VC++ runtime as prerequisite. This works both for exe and ActiveX control.
.NET Framework is not required for running unmanaged application.
