Installing Microsoft .Net Framework
SFC has been developed with the lastest Microsoft software environment and requires
that certain software infrastructure components be installed on your computer.
This is called the Microsoft ".NET Framework". Most new software is
being developed under this environment, so it is likely that you will need this
framework, eventually.
It must be present before you install Serious Font Collector.
(Even the SFC installer requires the .NET Framework) Use one of the following
methods to get the .NET Framework:
1. Automatic method
The easiest way to ensure that you have this component installed is to go to
the Microsoft Windows Update page, and select ".Net Framework" for download
and installation. If it is available for you to download, then do so. If not,
then the Microsoft .NET framework is already present on your computer, or it
is not available for your system. If you have not properly registered your copy
of Windows XP, Microsoft may deny you the ability to use Windows Update. In
that case, use the manual method, below.
The URL for the Microsoft Windows Update site is:
http://v4.windowsupdate.microsoft.com/en/default.asp
2. Manual method
To manually check if you need to download and install this component, follow
the procedure below, logged in as a system administrator:
(instructions are for Windows XP only)
1) Click Start
2) Click control panel (or Settings -> Control panel)
3) Double click on "Administration Tools"
4) See if there is selection for "Microsoft .NET Framework Configuration"
If there is a selection for "Microsoft .NET Framework Configuration", then your
computer is ready to install SFC.
If there is no selection for "Microsoft .NET Framework Configuration", you need
to downloaded it from one of these sites:
