STEP 3
Praetor automatically installs what other Microsoft components?
Praetor's
installation process checks for the
presence of these other required Microsoft
components.
If not
found, Praetor automatically downloads these from
Microsoft.
|
|
Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 or later
|
|
|
|
Special considerations for Windows 2003 |
|
|
Windows 2003 OS already has "ASP.NET".
Read the Praetor
Online documentation
-- Chapter 2 --
ASPNET in Windows
2003 to verify the
configuration. |
|
|
|
Microsoft SQL Server or Desktop Edition (MSDE) |
|
To manually install these Microsoft components:
If it's not desirable to
let the Praetor
Installer automatically download and install
these Microsoft components, this can be done manually.
|
|
Download MSDE from
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads |
|
|
See the Praetor FAQ, "Installing
MSDE for Use with Praetor" |
|
|
Download the Microsoft .NET
Framework from
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads. This is already present on Windows 2003, but
verify the configuration by reading
the Praetor Online documentation --
Chapter 2 -- ASPNET in Windows 2003. |
