Using Setup.exe for Server Installations When installing for production, either on a factory-floor server or in data centers, it's preferable to avoid manually authorizing firewall ports, as it happens on your local computer using the MSIX installation. This less-than-10-second installation is done on a predefined Windows folder, and install the software only to the current user logged on Windows. The traditional Setup.exe installation tool is also available for licensed users for those scenarios, when you want to install to all users of the computer, or customize the installation folder. .NET and Multi-Platform Applications To run on other operating platforms like Linux, .NET 8 is required. If you receive a warning that .NET 8 is not available on your computer, it will not prevent you from configuring solutions targeting Windows only, but it will prevent multi-platform solutions.you still will be able to work with Windows-only solutions and displays. To install the .NET 8, follow the link in the installer message, or you can find the .NET 8 Desktop Runtime installer from Microsoft here: https://dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/download/dotnet/8.0. Be sure to pick the version that matches your CPU architecture, which is likely x64. (And don't pick the "SDK" or ".NET Runtime" or other versions - just the ".NET 8 Desktop Runtime") |
