Does PowerCONVERTER require Microsoft .NET?
It is required if you have purchased PowerCONVERTER XP and you plan to take full advantage of the animation features and multimedia capabilities of PowerPoint 2002 (Office XP) and PowerPoint 2003. “Dot NET” is the latest technology from Microsoft that helps to produce faster-running applications and improved functionality. Third-party software, such as PowerCONVERTER, can be written to support .NET. Without .NET, many of the new features available in PowerCONVERTER XP would not have been possible. The Microsoft .NET Framework is automatically installed with Windows XP service pack 2 and on Windows 2003 servers. It will also be included in all new products from Microsoft. For more information and to download the .NET framework, visit the .NET homepage at http://msdn.microsoft.com/netframework/.
