.net framework for xp 64?

Hi All-

I have developed an app using C# visual express 2008. I used a bootstrapper manifest generator tool to create a prerequisite for "Microsoft .Net framework 3.5 SP1(full package)". Then published the app to a drive on my server which can be downloaded onto individual PC's. I can run the setup file and the app works correctly for all PC's on a windows XP Pro x32 operating system. However it will not work for PC's on a windows XP Pro x64 operating system- the setup repairs the .net framework 3.5 successfully but then when installing the app an error mgs appears saying "the app encountered an error and must close".

Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong? I am fairly new to programming so any tips on a solution would be greatly appreciated......

Thanks all......

Hi TheBigHam,

I am moving this thread from Base ".NET Framework Setup" forum to the "ClickOnce and Setup & Deployment Projects" forum, since the issue is related to deployment. There are more deployment experts in the "ClickOnce and Setup & Deployment Projects" forum.

Thanks

When you get a message saying "the app encountered an error and must close", it means the application crashed before it could show the first screen. If you look in the ClickOnce cache for the files, and double-click on the exe for your application, does it run?

Hello TheBigHam,

After I read your post, I think the possible cause is that x64 Windows XP cannot install x86 .NET Framework. To overcome this problem, I recommend you to make x64 .NET Framework for x64 XP user only. On the Microsoft web site, only .NET 2.0 has x64 version, you can make it as prerequisite using BMG, then make 3.0, 3.5, 3.5 sp1 as prerequisite.

Here is the download site for x64 .NET Framework 2.0
http://www.microsoft.com/DOWNLOADS/details.aspx?familyid=B44A0000-ACF8-4FA1-AFFB-40E78D788B00&displaylang=en

Please try it and tell me if you meet any problem.

Sincerely,
Kira Qian
