Trouble w/Publishing program and .NET issues
Greetings All, I installed VB.NET Express (Orcas) on my PC (Vista Home Premium). I brought over a simple program that I had authored on my WinXP machine under VB.NET Express 2005. It was written under Framework 2.0.
When I opened the project, VB offered to do a conversion: I accepted and the conversion had no errors.I was able to run the program under the debugger -- no problems. I could "build" the program -- no problem. When I went to "publish" the program, I had several errors saying that it would not build the program. It reported out that it had troubles finding the .NET framework (I think it was looking for V2.0).
How do I tell it where to look for 2.0? Can I tell it to use V3.0 or 3.5 if I want?
Also, What is Microsoft's "big picture" on the .NET framework? I know I had a program (Norton Ghost) that would no longer run when I updated to Framework 2.0 (from V1.0). Norton told me that the Ghost version I had was not compatiable with framework 2.0 and I need to buy new software. So if I release software today, do I need to make separate version for each new version of framework released? What is the compatibilty amoungst the various frameworks available and in the future?
Cheers,
Mike

With regard to Error 1 -- I was able to "build" the project with no problems. But when I "publish" the project, I get this error.
