System Requirements

To run LJ.NET, you must be running an operating system that supports the Microsoft .NET platform - currently, Windows operating systems 98, NT, ME, 2000, and XP are supported. You must also download and install the Microsoft .NET framework.

Download the Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 from Microsoft by clicking here. This download is approximately 20MB and must only be performed once. It is actually a good idea to have this framework installed in general, as it may be required by many new products in the near future.

After you've got the framework installed, download the latest edition of the LJ.NET installation package. Remember, after you install the .NET framework once, you do not need to reinstall it when upgrading to newer versions of LJ.NET.
