Can someone verify that if I develop in C++ .Net that the CLR and framework are
required on the target machine? I am only an occasional user of these tools but
it was my impression that C++ in .Net was an upgrade of VC++ 6 rather than a
complete departure in the direction of the CLR. I have written one simple
dialog based app in C++ .Net and I just took it to a Win98 machine that *does
not have* the .Net environment installed and the program started to the level of
displaying my dialog window (I don't have other resources on that machine for a
complete functional test). This result seems to stand in opposition to the
statements made below.

I created my app with the startup wizard as an MFC dialog based app. I don't
think the wizard asked me whether or not I wanted to create managed code.
