.Net applications and user computers (Framework 3.5)

I have an application that I developed in Visual Studio .Net with the Framework 3.5; I have the following questions:

  1. It's necessary that all the users have installed the Framework 3.5?

  2. What is the difference between Framework X.xx and Framework X.xx Client profile? (I'm using the Framework Client Profile).

-- All users have installed the Office 2003 or superior.

-- The users can have installed the Windows XP or Windows 7.

  1. Yes, however Windows 7 (and Server 2008) come with .NET 3.5 already installed. Check whether you need service pack or updates in order for your application to work correctly.

  2. Client framework is a subset of the full framework, later ones are optimised for client computers (ie not server processes) and as of .NET 4.5, the client profile is no longer an option - you have to use the full version instead.
