Well, the time has come to discuss .NET 2.0

So far SimPE is compiled against .NET 1.1, so it only runs on machines that have the .NET 1.1 Framework installed. If you only had 2.0 available on your System, the only thing you got were error messages.

.NET 2.0 will be part of the upcoming Windows Vista, and Microsoft offers a completley free (for non commercial useage) Development Environment called Visual Studio 2005 Express. That IDE is much more productive than VisualStudio 2003 (which I currently use to develop SimPE). The Projects (=Solutions) generated with VS2005 are also compatible with SharpDevelop 2, and OpenSource IDE for .NET and Mono. That would allow more Developers to contribute the the SimPE Project.
Another advantage is, that .NET 2.0 can be used on Machines running in 64-Bit Mode.

So why am I telling you about all this? Continue reading in this Thread in the SimPE-Forum.
