.NET 4 - orion - 2012-12-04
Hi there,
Is it possible to compile a version targeting .NET 4 or 4.5 for Windows 8 users? I'd prefer to avoid installing the older dependencies, if possible. :P
Thanks!
Orion

Hi,
do you have tried it anyway?
I think that the .NET framework is downward compatiable. So .NET 4 or 4.5 should also work!?

Yes, however, in Windows 8, the .NET 3.5 libraries (and lower) are no longer included with the OS - you need to install them separately. I know it's simple enough to do so, but I'd like to keep my install as light as possible.

Ah, OK. Didn't know that.
Then, I think it is not possible because the simconnect library was originally wrapped for .NET 2.0 (but it also works with 3.5, but not 4.0/4.5).
