Microsofts .NET Framework

[Dannie]

Went to d/l a trial version of Drive Image 7 and one requirement is that
Microsoft's .NET Framework needs to be installed in order for Drive Image 7
to run. Does anyone know what this is? I know I can google it but interested
in hearing from someone having a single pc with Windows XP home and is using
Microsoft's .NET Framework.

Sounds like to me that they do not want single pc users but those who are
net worked.

Bottom line is if you want to use their software you need .NET Framework.
it has nothing to do with networked PC's.

Windows consists of a number of libraries that represent a library of
functions that programs use (see DLLs). Most program use various
different library sets e.g. DOS, WIN16, WIN32, MFC (MS Foundation
Classes), and .NET. They are also known as APIs or Application
Programming Interfaces used by programmers to write and build programs

..NET is Microsoft's latest API for building networking and internet
based applications such as Web applications. If you have Visual Studio
2002 or 2003 you can write programs in .NET.

To run these programs you need the .NET libraries installed, this is
what the .NET Framework is for.
