.NET FRAMEWORK REQUIREMENT
Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 includes the runtime and associated files needed to run BACS 3, and must be installed on
your system in order for BACS 3 to operate. For information on the minimum and recommended .NET Framework versions
for your operating system, see Table 1.
NOTE: For optimal performance of BACS 3, Broadcom recommends .NET Framework 2.0 SP1, .NET Framework
3.0 SP1, or .NET Framework 3.5, depending on your operating system.
NOTES:
• Starting BACS 3 without .NET Framework (version 2.0 or above) installed on your system will result in an error.
• Long startup times for BACS 3 may be caused by a limitation of .NET Framework 2.0, as described in Microsoft
knowledge base article KB936707. To improve the startup time of BACS 3, apply .NET Framework 2.0 SP1 (or
appropriate version for your OS as shown in the Recommended column of Table 1), and reboot your system.
