Installation of .NET Framework 4.8 or later is required prior to the Cinegy Route installation. In case online installation takes place, the web installer will update the system components, if necessary. The offline installer can be used if the web installer is unavailable due to lack of Internet connection. In this case, make sure .NET Framework 4.5 is activated as a Windows feature, then download the corresponding offline installer package directly from Microsoft website. After .NET Framework 4.8 is installed, the OS reboot is required. Otherwise, the installation may fail. |
