Component needed to execute programs using .NET Framework
Microsoft .NET Framework is one of those software components that don’t work as applications by themselves, but rather as a framework to run other apps.
Microsoft .NET Framework contains everything you need to execute programs based on the .NET development environment. It includes common library files, language common routines and ASP.NET files.
Thanks to Microsoft .NET Framework you will no longer get error messages when trying to run .NET applications, so you should definitely install it on your system. What’s more, installation is really easy: simply run the file and follow the wizard’s steps. Just don’t expect to have an interface or something similar to run .NET Frameworks: there’s simply none.
Microsoft .NET Framework is a necessary component to run many applications nowadays, so you should absolutely install it on your system.
Microsoft .NET Framework Redistributable includes all you need to execute applications based on .NET Framework. If one application shows you an error like “Unable to locate required .DLL, MSCORE.DLL”, you can fix it installing this component.
The Microsoft .NET Framework 3.0 is the new managed code programming model for Windows. It combines the power of the .NET Framework version 2.0 with new technologies for building applications that have visually compelling user experiences, seamless communication across technology boundaries, and the ability to support a wide range of business processes. These new technologies are Windows Presentation Foundation, Windows Communication Foundation, Windows Workflow Foundation, and Windows CardSpace.
