Thanks, Nicolas. I am still confused about the following things:
1. Does client have to install .NET if I compiled my BOINC app through Visual Studio 2005 / 2008 ? 2. I am not sure how other Windows-compatible BOINC App works. Do they actually require .NET ? What I am trying to do is a stand-alone app in Windows , so cygwin is not working (require cygwin.dll), For MinGW, I have PCRE and libcurl in my app, which is hard to compile there. Visual C++ is what looks best to me currently. So I am really confused what I should do next.
