Sorry if this is a "no-brainer", but I can't seem to find the exact specs anywhere.
Is it possible to run MapSuite WebEdition on only .net framework 2.x, or do I have to install 3.0 and 3.5 too ?
.net requirements for Web Edition 3?
Hi,
The target framework of MapSuite WebEdition is .Net Framework 3.5, because there are some new features are used in the code of WebEdition. You should install .Net Framework 3.5 in your machine to use the WebEdition.
Sorry for the inconvenience and any more questions please let me know.
Thanks,
Sun
Hi Sun,
Sorry to hear that, because the target server we have in question is offline (i.e. not connected to the Internet), and the .net 3.5 installer for some obscure reason require Internet access :-/
Is the .net 3.5 dependency tied to any specific functionality that may be avoided, or is it always required ?
I’m afraid that the .net framework 3.5 is necessary for the WebEdition.
By the way, there is an offline installer of .net framework 3.5, that you can download and try to install it in your server:
download.microsoft.com/downl...etfx35.exe
Please have a try and any more questions please let me know.
Thanks,
Sun
Hi Sun,
I'm afraid you're mistaken about the .net 3.5 installer. Have you tried to run it on a machine NOT connected to the Internet ?
I have, and it doesn't work. The installer do require access to download some small package regardless of it being "the full package".
I have no idea why this is so, and have no idea what it downloads, but it's nevertheless the case.
This is just information for your convinience.
Lars,
Web Edition 3.0 used some features of WCF so that we need .net 3.0 or upper. Also, we need ScriptManager supports which is embeded in 3.5 framework. So 3.5 framework is necessary for our Web Edition. We can try the offline framework tomorrow; we really recommend you to upgrade your .net framework to 3.5 and welcome you to evaluate our web edition.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks,
Howard
