Framework support for all windows operating systems

Hi!
I want to build a single desktop app for windows xp, windows 7, windows vista and windows 8. someone told me that a desktop app build in visual studio 2013 will not run on xp.
Which framework version or visual studio version should I use to build a desktop app which should run on all mentioned operating systems?

Using .net 3.5 is pretty limiting.
I would have thought the lifespan and percentages of win xp and vista devices is so small that they might not be worth supporting.
This is the decision taken by the client on my current ( end consumer targeted ) project.
Hope that helps.

  • HT5639 Are there inherent security risks for installing windows operating systems on a mac?

    Just wondering if I use "bootcamp" and install Windows operating system and find out one of the main reasons I switched to a Mac is because of security issues. I also need to know if I can operate the Mac version of "Microsoft Office" without installing the Windows Operating System.
    Thanks tech savvy people!

    Windows concerns are in Windows, OS X in OS X. They do not co-exist because only one system is operational at a time.
    Office 2011 is the OS X version of the suite. Look for it here.

  • 2 inDesigns one one computer.  Mac and windows operating systems

    i have a creative cloud membership through my company and we work on a IMac but a particular program we use called DirectSmile, only works on the windows side in conjunction with inDesign.  We have Parallels installed on our computer and a creative suite installed on the Mac side of one computer.  Can i get inDesigned installed on the Windows side of this one computer.  Basically, Can in get 2 versions on inDesign installed on one computer?  One for the Mac operating system and one for the Windows operating system?

    Presuming you haven't already installed and activated a second time on some other computer....

  • How do I clone a fully operational system that relies on Windows 7 for the underlying operating system?

    I'm a retired IT professional desiring to assist a friend who owns a small business who recently experienced very malicious attacks on her computers from unknown parties operating anonymously on the Internet. Because
    of her lack of preparation for such events, her future ability to continue to conduct her business was seriously threatened. The incident revealed, to my friend, the need to be prepared to deal with spontaneously occurring problems that create suspicious conditions
    that arise with modern computer software before they can be analyzed in a sufficiently comprehensive manner to have an opinion regarding the appropriate course of action for obtaining a permanent remedy. In that, the ability to quickly react on the basis of
    only suspicion is the goal.
    I want to recommend an approach that involves maintaining an offline image of an operational system that is capable of running any of her computers. This image needs to include all of the software required to run
    her business. In that, it is not limited to the operating system. This single image could then be used to restore any computer to a known reliable state should the need arise. This technique will also insure that each computer has sufficiently similar capability
    to allow them to substitute for each other. Insofar as image restoration is itself an operation susceptible to causing unacceptable business delay I'm also recommending that each of the identical computers (i.e., from a hardware perspective) operate in a multi-boot
    environment where a virtually offline backup can be instantiated via a simple reboot (i.e., an operation that all users of the Windows operating systems turn to when strange behavior is first observed). My intention is to limit the cloned system (i.e., partition
    or C: drive) to the operational software. The business data along with storage for temporary data will be isolated on other partitions (i.e, mounted with other drive letters) accessible by each instance of the software eligible for multi-boot operation.
    This kind of operation is something that I know how to setup on older versions of the Windows operating system. However, Microsoft has now dropped support for all of those operating systems and my much more limited
    experience with the currently supported operating systems reveals that changes to the boot process will necessitate making changes to the specific preparations needed to build such an environment.
    Before recommending that my friend replace all of her computers with new ones, that includes paying for new operating system (i.e., Windows) licenses, I need some assurance that the new operating systems are as
    good as the old ones in this respect. These need to be relatively inexpensive desktop computers and we're only talking about a few of them. Let's say fewer than half a dozen. My friend is a sole proprietor and even though her business has become completely
    dependent on what was once called personal computers she must operate on a fairly tight budget. This especially includes the budget for technology.
    The articles I've been able to find on the Microsoft support websites seem to treat multi-boot as a situation where someone is running different versions of possibly difference operating systems whereas my need
    to produce a single image that will both run on multiple computers as well as multiple partitions on the same computer. I'd appreciate finding some technical advice that applies to building such a system using a supported version of Windows.

    I tried the image creation/restoration described by Jared.  I don't think it makes much sense to rely on an operational system to do such a restoration therefore I opted for method 3 which involves using a "System Repair Disk".  My first
    reaction is what a crude tool.  The image creation process had no trouble putting the image on a simple network share.  However, it appeared as though the restoration couldn't even connect with the device.  I then copied the files to a USB drive. 
    In this case the repair disk said it couldn't find the files even though they were there.  It offered no mechanism to even look and see what was there.  It appears as though it will only find the image if it is located in a folder by the certain
    name used on creation and it is in root directory.  Not very handy.
    As ugly as all that was when we finally come to the point of making the restore it looks like the only option is to restore the entire disk, which in my case would mean also restoring both the windows partition and the recovery partition.  This just
    isn't what I want to do.  It is also something I wouldn't even consider doing unless it was the only possible way to recover from a failed hard drive.
    In summary, unless I've completely failed to notice how it works that just isn't going to work.
    I hope there is something better than this.  What about WinPE and ImageX?
    Absent anything useful from Microsoft it will be necessary to try using other software.  Time to try Acronis!  I guess.

    I have a dual boot lab that I set up for a school.  The partitions consist of Mountain Lion OSX and Windows 7 Ent.  I use bootpicker software for choosing the operating system at startup.  When I select the windows partition, it take just under 2 minutes from selection to the windows login screen.  It seems to take incredibly long for the mac to "shut down and hand over the operating system to windows. 
    Do you have any suggestions on how to get this timing faster?
    Thanks for any ideas/input

    The only suggestion I can make is to look ar ReFind (previuosly ReFit). Startup mamangement is one of its features.
    But
    It is very powerful so test it for yourself before deploying it. Some of the functions are best kept out of the hands of the curious, or 'playful'
    And you never answered this question.
    Tell me what the needs are, do the users always need to choose Windows or is this a variable?

    Try downloading the trial. It ought to detect that you have a 64-bit system.
    You aren't using Vista, are you? PSE 13 requires at least win 7 and I think a few folks with vista have gotten a similar error message on trying to install it.

  • Cannot monitor Windows Operating Systems

    In the process of attempting a SCOM 2012 R2 deployment, I cannot get SCOM to monitor the Windows systems on which the management agent has been deployed.  I have installed the "Microsoft Windows Server" MP, as well as a bunch of other "server"
    related MPs (i.e., DNS, AD, etc.)
    Selecting the "Microsoft Windows Server" entry in the monitoring view shows all the entries I would expect to see, but none of the selections show any data being collected.  All of the Windows Updates have been applied and the systems rebooted.
    I have searched this forum as well as the web, and haven't found anything that works.  I'm wondering what I've missed.
    BTW, the SCOM server is clearly having issues (see my other "Log on locally" thread) but I don't know if there is any connection.  In other words, my SCOM deployment may need to be done over.  (Although it is unclear to me just what tables
    and other information would need to be removed from the SQL database.)

    Hi,
    For the issue that Windows operating system not monitored, the cause may be not importing the Windows Server based OS management pack:
    System Center Management Pack for Windows Server Operating System
    http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=9296
    Windows Server base OS monitoring is not a part of the default management packs shipped with SCOM, we have to download and import it.
    In addition that, this issue can occur because the new agent has the same NetBIOS name as a previously installed agent. When the agent is deleted from Operations Manager, the grooming of the deleted agent is hard coded to occur after two days. Therefore,
    the agent is not immediately groomed out of the database completely. 
    To work around this issue after the old agent is deleted from the console, wait three days, and then add the new agent to Operations Manager. Alternatively, make sure that two full days have passed and then add the new agent to Operations Manager.
