Upgrading to Windows 7 and Visual Studio 2010 while using ActiveGantt 2.6.0 - vb.net

I would like to know if I will encounter any problems running ActiveGanttVBN 2.6.0 on Windows 7 using Visual Studio 2010 and VB.NET 4.0.
My current configuration on which I am running ActiveGantt 2.6.0 is Windows XP, .NET 1.1, and Visual Studio 2003. I am upgrading to Windows 7 and .NET 4.0 and I need to know if I also need to upgrade to a newer version of ActiveGantt.

.Net framework 1.1 does not run in Windows 7 64 bit, will you be using the 32 bit or 64 bit version of windows 7? Visual studio 2010 runs without any issue in Windows 7 and Windows 8, but I think it only supports .Net framework 2.0 and higher.

Installing Windows SDK .net 4.5 in a Windows 2008 server

I was trying to install Windows SDK which supports .NET 4.5 in a Windows 2008 server. But I couldn't find any link for the same. All I could find was this:
Windows SDK for Windows Server 2008 and .NET Framework 3.5
Can't we install SDK which supports .NET 4.5 in a Windows 2008 server, do I have to upgrade to Windows 2012 server? I could see that .NET 4.5 framework supports Windows 2008 server but not sure about the SDK. The reason I am looking for this is because, I am trying to install an assembly using GACUTIL, but when I install Windows SDK and try running GACUTIL, it states that the version is different.
Any ideas?
Got it. I was installing wrong SDK, I was installing SDK for 7.1, I should actually install SDK for 8.1. Silly mistake.

visual basic .net program for xp platform program is being built on windows 7

i am running visual studio 2008 visual studio 2010 vs 2012 on windows 7 platform with visual basics windows form application. No matter what i do , installing and targeting .net frame work 3.5 or older . The EXECUTABLE file built in this setup fails to run on windows xp SP3. what am i missing ?
Problem is being reported it as invalid win32 application , faulty start-point!
I had something similar issue a few years ago, but in reverse.
It might not be a .NET version issue though: it might be a 32 / 64 bit problem. After spending a lot of time on .NET framework requirements and re-re-reinstalling, once I compiled to 32 bit rather than Any CPU it would run on XP SP3 (even though it was 64 bit XP).

visual studio 2013 on windows xp

Is it possible to run Visual Studio 2013 on Windows XP?
I heard that it is not possible to install .NET Framework 4.5 on Windows XP. What if I want to use Visual Studio 2013 for .NET 4.0 on Windows XP?
Is this possible?
It is not possible. Visual Studio 2013 natively supports .Net v4.5, which does not support Windows XP.
For .Net 4.0 on Windows XP, you may try to use Visual Studio 2010 with .Net 4.0. I am not sure if this will work, but I would suggest you to go for Windows 7 for .Net 4.0 and Windows 8 for .Net 4.5.
It is not possible. Even Visual Studio 2012 requires Windows 7.
However you can still develop applications for Windows XP when targeting .NET 4.0 (or older). With Visual Studio 2013 you can develop applications from .NET 2.0 upwards.
.NET 4.5 requires at least Windows Vista to run. As .NET 4.5 replaces .NET 4.0 (it's not a side-by-side installation as previous .NET versions), you might have some incompatibilty problems if you target .NET 4.0. See this question for more information.
As others have said, it's not possible to install Visual Studio 2012 or 2013 on Windows XP. However if you really need .NET 4.5 features on Windows XP install Mono 3 and use MonoDevelop.
You cannot install required runtime, so you cannot install Visual Studio 2013. But you are always free to use a virtual machine. Install it on VM and run VM on XP.
.NET 4.5 requires Windows Vista SP2, Server 2008 or newer.

.NET framework, Windows XP

We have built an app with Visual Studio 2012 and it runs beautifully on any Windows 7 or Vista machine, 32 or 64 bit. However, when I try to run the app on an Win XP machine, I get this:
**
Prerequisite check for system component Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5
(x86 and x64) failed with the following error message:
"Installation of the Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5 is not supported on
this operating system. Contact your application vendor."
**
And then of course, when I try to install .NET 4.5 on the Win XP machine, I find out it's not supported.
At this point, I'm just wanting to know what can be done to get this app to run on Win XP. It's a calculator application written in visual basic.
Thanks Guys!
.Net framework 4.5 is not supported in Windows XP. If you're not using any .Net 4.5 features you can rebuild your app using .Net Framework 4 (In the Project properties).
I always hate these kind of answers, but a quick google search indicates that you can't get .net 4.5 to run on Windows XP.
IF you really really need your application to run, you can always use earlier versions of the framework
you can do this by
Right click on your project and go to
properties
application
target framework
and change that to something elxe
