More information could be useful. For example, does the ghosted win2k image already contain mono, or was mono installed after the image was made?
Aside from that detail, I can answer your other question: Yes, a runtime environment has to be installed in order to execute the C# application. The runtime environment can be either mono or .NET, depending on your platform (Windows, apparently). Please not, however, that due to the lack of Strong Naming/GAC/et. al, mono-compiled applications WILL NOT run under .NET if they use anything outside of corlib.dll/mscorlib.dll. This is a great deal of existing classes (XML support is in System.Xml.dll, advanced text handling and lots of other goodies is in System.dll, etc.). Corlib.dll primarily contains File I/O, System.Collections, System.Reflection, Runtime support (System.Runtime.*), and other essential classes. This is something we should fix, but it's not an easy problem. (Short description: System.dll et. al are strong-named, and located in the GAC. Since mono doesn't have GAC support, when it compiles against mono's version of those libraries, the strong-name information isn't included, so when executed under .NET the GAC-located assemblies won't be used. Even GAC support under mono doesn't easily solve this problem, due to the public/private key system used for shared assemblies.) Also note that the "other" direction -- running .NET-compiled apps under mono -- should work, as there are no GAC/versioning issues. Unless, of course, you're using something that hasn't been implemented yet (System.Windows.Forms and the other parts of the class library that aren't fully implemented yet). - Jon On Fri, 2003-06-20 at 11:06, pjaol wrote: > Hi > > I'm having problems running mono c# applications on any machine other > than the one it's compiled upon. > I've compiled with on a win 2000 pc, and it fails on similar 2000 > (ghosted from the same image) > and also on XP machines. > The xp machine pops up the following Application Error "failed to > initialize properly (0xc0000135).
