To install FrameworX:

1.Run the Installer: Click on the FrameworX-Setup.exe file. The installation will complete in just a few minutes, adding FrameworX to \Program Files (x86)\Tatsoft\ folder.

2.Accessing the Application:

After installation, right-click the FrameworX icon in the Desktop. When running, at the Windows TaskBar, you can select “Pin to Taskbar” for easy access.

Alternatively, type “FrameworX” in the Windows search box to locate and launch the application.

When the application is first time launched, it may request to update the Microsoft Visual Studio Redistributable package, simple authorize to proceed. 

3. Firewall Authorization:

Upon first editing or running solutions post-installation, Windows Firewall may prompt for authorization. Simply click “OK” to proceed.

Info
titleUpdating from Previous Versions

If you have a previous installation using the MSIX installer, please uninstall it first. Due to restrictions with running .NET 8 applications, the MSIX option is no longer supported.

If you have a previous installation using the Setup.exe installer, you can install the new version without uninstalling the old one. However, the installation will be slightly faster if the previous version is removed first.


Tip

For more information about installation folders refer to the Managing Installations section.

title.NET 8 installation

.NET 8 is required to create solutions to other operating platforms like Linux, and to edit displays to show on web browsers.

If you receive a warning that .NET 8 is not available on your computer, 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")

You can find more information on installation and different scenarios on Managing Installations.

2. Managing and Running Solutions

When you first open the software, you'll find a list of your current solutions. By default, you'll find all of our demos installed. Before creating your own solution, we recommend exploring our demos!

For new users, we recommend starting with the Brewery Demo. In this solution, we’ve built a brewery line from scratch, using all of the main software features. At our training site, you’ll find a free course that explains how we did this, from creating a project to adding alarming capabilities.

To Run a Solution, just select from the list and click "Run" to simply deploy it or "Edit" to take a look at how we created it!
