Board index » delphi » Delphi 8 app Deployment on a non-.Net environment

I am building a group of very very very simple applications (just regular .exe)to check Data integrity.
The programs run well on my machine, but as soon as my users try to use them, they have messages telling them that MSCOREE.DLL is missing. Most of them have win98, win95, winNT. I know the problem is because my applications now are .Net applications, but I don't want my users go to the hassle of installing the .NET environment on their machines since most of them are just regular illiterate-computer guys.
How can I compile on Delphi 8 programs with backwards compability so they can run on non-.Net environments??????
 

hoping that there was a way to compile an application for
different platforms, including traditional regular basic Win32.
Kind of multi-plattform thing...or maybe better... plattform
oriented optative.
However, since I still need to create applications for
non-.NET, looks like is back to my old Delphi then, at least
for a while, when all my users are .NET compliant....
 

development you will have to stick with Delphi 7. You should be able ot
take applications developed in Delphi 7 and recompile them in Delphi 8,
though, so you may want to go the other route (instead of taking a Delphi 8
application and back porting it to Delphi 7, you may want to develop it in
Delphi 7 and later recompile it in Delphi 8 when you are ready to take it to
a managed environment) for your development.
That, or encourage your users to install the .NET Framework v1.1. ;-)
