Install the Microsoft® .NET Framework

The version 1.1 release of the Microsoft® .NET Framework provides one redistributable installer that contains the common language runtime and .NET Framework components that are necessary to run .NET Framework applications. The .NET Framework redistributable is available as a stand- alone executable file, Dotnetfx.exe.

You can install the Dotnetfx.exe from the Checklan Alerter CD or download if from the Microsoft site. Framework SDK, Microsoft® Visual Studio® .NET, or download Dotnetfx.exe from the Web, you have accepted the license agreement for Dotnetfx.exe. For the terms of the license agreement, see:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/dnnetdep/html/redisteula.asp

Note: you must select the Dotnetfx.exe corresponding to your Operating System language with LangPack.exe, otherwise use english by default.

Install the MDAC 2.7

The .NET Framework requires that MDAC 2.7 or later be installed for any application that includes data access. Like the .NET Framework, MDAC cannot be installed as a part of a deployment project. Microsoft provides MDAC_typ.exe, a stand-alone executable file that can be run to install MDAC.

If your application includes data access, you should also add a launch condition to check for MDAC 2.7 or later.

You can install the Dotnetfx.exe from the Checklan Alerter CD or download it from the Microsoft site.
