Checking .NET

Framework

Requirements

Before you use either the source-file directory or the silent install option, you must make sure that your system meets the minimum installation requirements.

Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 includes the runtime and associated files needed to run BACS 3, and must be installed on your system in order for BACS 3 to operate. For information on the minimum and recommended

.NET Framework versions for your operating system, see Table 6.

Note

You do not need to upgrade .NET for the Windows Server 2008, Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows Vista, or Windows 7 Operating Systems.

Note

For optimal performance of BACS 3, Broadcom recommends .NET Framework 2.0 SP1, .NET Framework 3.0 SP1, or .NET Framework 3.5, depending on your operating system.
