-====== About .NET Framework ====== 
- 
-Since CDBurnerXP 4, we use the Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 as basis for our application. 
- 
-If you are running Windows **Vista or Windows 7**, you already have .NET 3.0 preinstalled so there is nothing to care about. Any earlier operating system, however, requires that you install it manually.

-  * [[https://​www.microsoft.com/​en-US/​download/​details.aspx?​id=55167|Download .NET Framework 4.7]] 
- 
-Which one to choose? .NET 3.5 allows you to run most .NET applications,​ .NET 2.0 is the most lightweight version (smallest size), .NET 4.x is the latest version. 
- 
-====== Mono ====== 
- 
-Mono is an open source alternative to .NET, with support for other platforms, including Microsoft Windows. You might have the idea to try [[http://​www.mono-project.com/​Main_Page|Mono]] to run CDBurnerXP, however, it does **not** work and probably will never work. 
- 
-====== Can't you make CDBurnerXP work without .NET? ====== 
- 
-No, we cannot. The .NET Framework makes the development of CDBurnerXP possible in the first place. It provides numerous features and provides an efficient ​ development environment. Given that recent operating systems include .NET anyway, there really is no reason to make development more difficult than necessary.
