I have a .NET 3.5 program written in Nemerle. As a project dependency I have a .NET 2.0 library. Can I be sure that when the end-user installs .NET 3.5 my program will work, or will I need to force him to install .NET 2.0 too?

Thanks.

If you check out the .NET Dependency Chart you'll see that each one is layered on top the other. So, to answer your question, yes. Installing 3.5 will be enough.

    It should be noted though, 1.x is not included with 3.5, and supposedly 4.0 is a re-build (MS was aiming for a smaller installation size) so it's not a guarantee that 3.5 is included (at least with regards to "same code"). But with regards to 3.5 including 2.x, you should be safe. – Brad Christie Oct 15 '11 at 04:21
