System Requirements:


This release does require that Microsoft's "NET Framework". What is Framework? It is a major Microsoft update to Microsoft's system files. Microsoft has taken some of their operating systems' files out of the "System" folder and "System32" folder and located these system files in a folder named "Microsoft.NET" in the Windows directory. I have installed it on 4 or 5 computers having a Windows 98, Windows 2000, or XP operating system and not had the first hint of a problem. People who do not have NET Framework on their computer need to ask themselves this question- Should I install NET Framework or should I let my computer very quickly become obsolete, because almost all software that has been developed over the past few years requires NET Framework.

Microsoft .NET Framework is included with, and part of, Microsoft's "Vista" operating system. 

Note: Titlebar Software has installed .NET Framework on numerous computers with various Windows operating systems. We have not had the first bit of trouble with it. In essence, what .NET Framework does is update a number of system files and locates them in a folder named "Microsoft.NET" in the Windows directory.




How can you tell if you have "Framework" installed?      ...If this program will install, you have it.

Overview
The .NET Framework redistributable packages include everything you need to run applications developed using the .NET Framework.

The .NET Framework provides improved scalability and performance, support for mobile device development with ASP.NET mobile controls (formerly the Microsoft Mobile Internet Toolkit), support for Internet Protocol version 6, and ADO.NET classes for native communication with Open Database Connectivity (ODBC) and Oracle databases. It also enables the use of code access security to further lock down and isolate ASP.NET applications. For more information, read the .NET Framework Product Overview.

Important: You cannot install two different language versions of the .NET Framework on the same machine. Attempting to install a second language version of the .NET Framework will cause the following error to appear: "Setup cannot install Microsoft .NET Framework because another version of the product is already installed." If you are targeting a non-English platform or if you wish to view .NET Framework resources in a different language, you must download the appropriate language version of the .NET Framework language pack.
