Software Requirements

In general, it is recommended that input source code compiles successfully on the same computer where WebMAP for Silverlight will be executed. This implies that all source code dependencies (usually Silverlight SDK, third party libraries and NuGet packages) must be installed on the same computer. In addition to input source requirements, WebMAP for Silverlight also requires .NET Framework 4.6.2+ and VS Build Tools 2017.

In detail, the software requirements are:

• Windows 8.1, 10 or 11.

• .NET Framework 4.6.2+ (download link) Only needed for Win8.1, because Win10 and Win11 already include .NET Framework 4.8.

• VS Build Tools 2017 with "Web development build tools" workload. Check here.

• .NET targeting packs for the .NET version(s) targeted by the source code. If your source code targets ".NET Framework 4.5.2", then you need to have ".NET Framework 4.5.2 targeting pack" installed.

• Silverlight 5 SDK.

• Third party libraries required by source code.

• NuGet packages required by source code.

Windows 7 is no longer officially supported by Microsoft, and getting WebMAP for Silverlight to run on Windows 7 could be tricky, but it is possible. If you really want (or need) to run WebMAP for Silverlight on Windows 7 (maybe because it is the only machine where the source code compiles successfully), then check our Windows 7 installation page.

It is not possible to execute WebMAP for Silverlight on Windows XP. WebMAP for Silverlight requires .NET Framework 4.6.2, which can't be installed on Windows XP.
