How can I build application developed in Visual C++ .NET which can work on Windows 98?

Can anybody help me, please?

Thank you.

As long as you can install the .NET redistributable on a 98 machine, any .NET program will run.

The question there is apparent...

Yep, the whole point of .NET is that it'll run on any operating system providing you have the appropriate installation for it (technical : a CLR for it).

There is a downloadable framework for 98 which you can get from the microsoft site.

I've tried my .NET apps (assemblies written in VC++.NET as well as apps written in VB.NET) on a 98 machine with the .NET framework installed and all seems fine.

I have heard that the CLR may also be available for Linux/Unix systems online. Which means you'll be able to run your programs on those as well. However, I've not tried these so don't quote me on that.
