Checking .NET
Framework
Requirements
Before you use either the source-file directory or the silent install option,
you must make sure that your system meets the minimum installation
requirements.
Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 includes the runtime and associated files
needed to run BACS 3, and must be installed on your system in order for
BACS 3 to operate. For information on the minimum and recommended
.NET Framework versions for your operating system, see Table 5 on
page 93.
Note
For optimal performance of BACS 3, Broadcom recommends .NET
Framework 2.0 SP1, .NET Framework 3.0 SP1, or .NET Framework
3.5, depending on your operating system.
Note
Starting BACS 3 without .NET Framework (version 2.0 or above)
installed on your system results in an error.
Note
Long startup times for BACS 3 may be caused by a limitation of
.NET Framework 2.0, as described in Microsoft knowledge base
article KB936707. To improve the startup time of BACS 3, apply
.NET Framework 2.0 SP1 (or appropriate version for your OS as
shown in the Recommended column of Table 5), and reboot your
system.
