Upgrading Your .NET Framework

Upgrading your .NET Framework

System Requirements

This software has been built on the Microsoft.Net framework (version 2.0) which must be installed on the user’s computer before Portfolio Desktop will run. The primary deployment/installation of the application employs Microsoft ClickOnce technology, users will be given a web page to install the application, users need not require administrative rights to install the application but firewall and proxy server setting may need to be altered for this to work (see below). Using ClickOnce technology the application will also check for any updates for new software every time it is run.

Portfolio Desktop only supports PCs running Windows 2000 and higher with Internet Explorer 6.0 or higher. For optimal performance, we recommend running Portfolio Desktop on machines with a minimum of 256 Megabytes of RAM and on more recent operating systems. The application may work on slower modem connections but is intended for users who have broadband connection to the internet.

Where a direct connection to the Internet is not available (for example in a firewall environment) or a proxy server sits in-line between the user’s computer and the Portfolio Desktop servers the user will need the network administrator to allow:

-DIRECT http (port 80) and https (port 443) access to *.praemium.biz

-OR configure your proxy server to bypass request to *.praemium.biz

-OR configure your proxy server to NOT require authentication for request to *.praemium.biz

-Your firewall or proxy server must not blocked file with the following extension in order for ClickOnce installation to work: “.manifest”, “.deploy”, for example “xyz.dll.deploy”, “abc.exe.manifest”, “abc.exe.deploy”
