Installing the .NET Framework 4.0 and the 4.0.2 update

One main software requirement for the setup of MicroStrategy suite is the .NET Framework 4.0, and the update 4.0.2 as in the Microsoft article KB2544514.

How to do it...

In a command prompt window, complete the following steps:

1. Run the command:

   C:\install\dotNetFx40_Full_x86_x64.exe
   

2. Accept the license agreement and watch the blue progress bars filling up slowly. This can take a while; you may have a coffee if you need. When it's finished, run:

   C:\install\NDP40-KB2544514-x86-x64.exe
   

3. One accept button (the license agreement) and two more blue progress bars to go. If you're prompted to reboot, please do so.

How it works...

The .NET Framework is a requirement for the MicroStrategy Web and several add-on utilities.
