| Microsoft .NET Framework |
TIBCO Spotfire supports Microsoft .NET Framework version 4.0 and requires that Microsoft .NET Framework be installed prior to installing TIBCO Spotfire.
If Microsoft .NET Framework 4.0 isn't installed when running the TIBCO Spotfire Professional 4.0 installer, the installer can (if the users accepts this when prompted) download and install it. No such option is available when upgrading older, existing TIBCO Spotfire installations by connecting to a TIBCO Spotfire Server with a TIBCO Spotfire 4.5.x deployment though - in this case, Microsoft .NET Framework 4.0 must be installed before upgrading.
NOTE: Microsoft .NET Framework 4.0 works side by side with older Framework versions.
NOTE: Microsoft .NET Framework requires Administrator rights to complete installation.
