Windows 98 and .Net ServiceI knew it would happen. I have a large who customer wants to run our Windows
Service App on a Win98 Machine... Is it possible to run a Windows Service developed in .Net on Win98? If so, do I need to create a Service Control App to Start and Stop the Service? If not, how do I start it (net start ServiceName). Do I need to Install the Service using InstallUtil.exe? Also how can I debug the app on the win98 machine? Thanks for your insights. If you can direct me to a discussion, that would be great! ..Net will not run on any OS older than Windows 2000.

Windows 98, because the 98 system is not NT-Based, and doesn't have the kind of security the .Net platform needs. But you are correct. I don't know how they did it or what the restrictions are, but apparently you can run at least some .Net apps on Windows 98.

How they did, well... (unfortunately) by using a bunch of: If(OSVersion == ConsumerWindows) throw "Sorry, use a real OS" else // Ok, let's get to business ... Can you imagine what they had to do to support threadpools in the CLR for Win98 :-( They did the same to support NT4, but fortunately this one has been removed as from V2.0 :-) The lack of any security infrastructure in W98, is IMO reflected in the poor "Windows security" support in the framework, I bet that if they didn't have to support "Consumer Windows", they would have done a better job in this (and some other) domain(s), but of course we may not forget that .NET development started early 1998 even before XP saw the light.
