   Hi John,
   It needs .Net 2.0.
   From the MS website: Supported Operating Systems:Windows 2000 Service
   Pack 3;Windows 98;Windows 98 Second Edition;Windows ME;Windows Server
   2003;Windows XP Service Pack 2
   Looks like you're OK there.

     I found this on a forum archive.  Not certain it's correct, but...
     "The Microsoft .Net Framework version 3.5 does not contain support
     for Windows 2000. It appears that Microsoft is dropping support for
     that operating system as they release their new technologies. I
     already knew that version 3.0 did not include Windows 2000. I had
     hoped it would be included in 3.5. They are supporting XP, Vista,
     and Windows 2003."
     So, by using .NET you put users of your compilation in an upgrade
     treadmill to the benefit of Microsoft.
