Platform support

See the ASNA Version Policy for full requirements

You can only install one version of an ASNA Windows product on a single PC. For example, you can’t install ASNA Visual RPG for .NET 17.x on a PC on which ASNA Visual RPG for .NET 16.x is installed.

General installation tips

• We strongly recommend you apply all pending Windows updates before installing any of our Windows products.

• Don’t install any ASNA Windows products while Visual Studio is running.

• For our products that snap into Visual Studio (ie, Visual RPG for .NET Framework, Wings, Mobile RPG, etc.) be sure to install Visual Studio first.

Similarly, attempting to install the software directly through Microsoft Windows may cause a “Windows protected your PC” message to appear. In this event click the small More Info prompt on the left, and click Run Anyway on the following window.
