AX Code Installation image and additional components, like .NET

0
Good morning everybody, I currently try out to install the AX Code IDE from website. What I am wondering about, why is the .NET runtime not included in the AX Code installation image? And Can I install the required components even after installing AX Code?

Hi Kevin,

good question. The .NET runtime is not included in the AX Code installation image to keep the installation package lightweight and to allow users to install the specific versions of the .NET runtime they need. This approach also helps avoid potential conflicts with existing .NET installations on the system.

Given the current transition phase where both .NET 6 and .NET 8 need to be installed in parallel, this flexibility is particularly important. It allows you to manage the installation of both runtimes as required by your components.

Yes, you can install the required components even after installing AX Code. The setup wizard for AX Code allows you to add necessary prerequisites post-installation. This ensures that you can configure your environment as needed without having to reinstall the entire application.

During this transition phase, make sure to:

  1. Install Both .NET 6 and .NET 8: This ensures compatibility with all components during the migration period.
  2. Check Component Changelogs: Verify which components have migrated to .NET 8 by checking their changelogs.
  3. Test Thoroughly: Ensure all applications are tested to confirm they work correctly with the new runtime versions.

If you need any further assistance with the installation or migration process, feel free to ask!
