I have an application that uses the .NET framework 3.5. I am building this application for a college to help students to study. Most students usually have Windows XP SP2, Windows Vista, or Windows 7. (Sorry Mac users! The Mac version will come out in about 6 months) What version of the .NET framework is installed on Windows XP, Vista, and 7; and will my application run on all of those platforms?

From Wikipedia:
.NET Framework 1.1: Windows Server 2003
.NET Framework 2.0: Windows Server 2003 R2
.NET Framework 3.0: Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008
.NET Compact Framework 1.0 (SP2): Windows Mobile 5.0
.NET Compact Framework 2.0: Windows Mobile 6.0
From other SO questions:
If you want to be certain that you application runs on all of these, you will have to install the framework yourself - use SmallestDotNet.com for this.

So this application would not work in Windows XP?

Not by default (for XP and SP2). You will need to get the framework installed on the client machines.

The version of .NET framework could be a little different on each computer based on what software they have already installed.

A:
As you're going to install .NET Framework with your application you may also find .NET Client Profile useful. It's a small version of framework that can be bundled with your distribution.

I would like to point out, that Windows XP SP3 does NOT have .NET Framework 3.5 (Full profile) installed. I just found out and was scared :-0
