Your PC will need to have the Windows .NET Framework installed. If it does not, you will be directed to the necessary
location to do so •http://msdn.microsoft.com/netframework/downloads/framework1_1/
The .NET Framework is also on your installation CD.
WHAT IS THE .NET FRAMEWORK?
The .NET Framework is an integral Windows component for building and running the next generation of software applications
and Web services. The .NET Framework:
Supports over 20 different programming languages.
Manages much of the plumbing involved in developing software, enabling developers to focus on the core business logic
code.
Makes it easier than ever before to build, deploy, and administer secure, robust, and high-performing applications.
The .NET Framework is composed of the common language runtime and a unified set of class libraries.
You can check to see if you already have the .NET Framework 1.1 installed by clicking Start on your Windows desktop,
selecting Control Panel, and then double-clicking the Add or Remove Programs icon. When that window appears, scroll
through the list of applications. If you see Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 listed, the latest version is already installed and you
do not need to install it again.
