How can I know what's minimum configuration for my program??? Is it the minimum configuration for .NET Framework 4 or there is something else with which I can know minimum configuration

I dont think there's really any sure way to tell. You know you'll need .NET framework (4.0 or whatever) but for hard-drive space and amount of RAM you'll have to estimate for your self. You can try running it on other computers or watching your RAM and proccessor while running the program. From there you can give the appropriate minimum requirement's for your program.

Good luck ~ Committed.

i think that RAM will depend on .NET Framework requeirements...because if i'm using some control from .NET Framework 4.0 then i think that those controls will work slow if i don't use minimum system requirements for .NET Framework 4.0
i found this site
.NET Framework System Requirements
i think it should help me for writting a documentation

is XML inside .NET Framework or it's inside IDE
and if i have xml code in my program do i have to install MSXML

[CommittedC0der]

Id take it as you dont need MSXML.
The use of MSXML is not supported in .NET applications

Im pretty sure any computer can use XML files without any framework or download. ~ Committed. :)

About which version of .NET framework you should state as the minimum requirement for your program, you should examine functions/methods/classes from .NET that you are using in that program. Each newer versions of .NET introduce new functions/classes/methods compared to their predecessors. Therefore you have to examine the codes you are using, whether they're only supported by the newest, or maybe older versions would do just fine. I believe there is a tool to inspect this, you can try to google this tool.

If you could not find such tool, you can use your development environment as the base. Or better if you can try to run the program in computers running specific version of .NET.

When you are programming with .NET framework, xml manipulation is mandatory. .NET relies heavily on xml for abstraction in communication. Simplest example would be your project configuration file, which is xml. But I believe .NET has its own xml parser library, making you don't have to rely on the availability of MSXML. However, MSXML is automatically installed when you are installing IE.
