How to get my program to run in Windows 98?

Okay so I recently made a program in Visual C#, and I'm running Windows 7. I really made this program to give to my friend who is running Windows 98, and unfortunately when he runs the program it simply does nothing and closes.

Is there any way to modify my code in order to have this program run in Windows 98 the same way it runs in Windows 7?

I'm a noob at this sort of stuff, so any feedback is of much use, thanks in advance :)

I doubt that a C# program (which requires .NET) could run under Windows 98.

That's what I thought. Thanks =)

Well... it is false. Windows 98 has some limited support for .net.

Microsoft .NET framework is AVAILABLE for windows 98, but, only version 1.0, 1.1 and 2.0 without the service pack are the supported ones. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.NET_Framework#.NET_Framework_2.0[^].

If you have built your programs in some heigher framework (Say, .NET framework 2.0 with service pack, or, framework 3.0,3.5 or, 4), try to build the program by downgrading the framework to the mentioned ones (Those which are supported by windows 98). You need to make sure that you are using the classes and codes from the older frameworks (1.0,1.1 or 2.0 without any service pack). Also, you have to make sure that your friend has the supporting .NET framework available in his 98 machine.
