Preparing installation (Windows)

RAID Viewer and Log Viewer use Microsoft .NET Framework Versions 2.0 to 3.5. Install these components if it

does not exist in the computer where the Universal RAID Utility is to be installed.

Skip this section when you exclude RAID Viewer and Log Viewer from the modules to be

installed at the installation of Universal RAID Utility. Go to “Installation (Windows)”.

Installation of Microsoft .NET Framework

Windows Server 2008 and Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows Vista, Windows 7 include .NET

Framework Versions 2.0 to 3.5. Therefore, you do not need to install .NET Framework in case of

using them as operating system.

Install .NET Framework Versions 2.0 to 3.5 when you are going to use Universal RAID

Utility on Windows 8 and Windows Server 2012. It is because only .NET Framework 4.5 is

included in the operating system. You can download it from the following Web site.
