2.1.1      Installation of the .NET Framework

In order to be sure the .NET Framework 2.0 is installed on you computer, you proceed as follows (.NET is always installed on computers with Microsoft Vista):

1. Open the Windows Start Menu and select “Settings” > “Control Panel” > “Software”.
2. Look for the entry “Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0".
    
   
   
3. If this entry does not exist, you have to install the .NET-Framework yourself.  You can find an active link to the .NET Framework download under:
