System Requirements
Please Note
If you use
Windows XP and have applied all the usual updates, you should already have all
the operating system requirements in place, with the exception of the .NET
Framework which is optional with Windows Update but essential for the correct
operation of LodgeDat. The CD Version includes a few extras to save you some
large downloads.
In order to function, LodgeDat needs the following
pre-installed on your PC
(Sorry, Mac users and those who do not use
Microsoft products ...)
- Windows XP with SP2 or SP3 or Windows 2000
with SP3 or later
-
download Windows XP SP2 free from Microsoft's web site

version will follow in due course
- Microsoft .NET framework (version 2 or
above preferred) - see notes above
-
download .NET free from Microsoft's web site

was designed to take advantage of newer versions of Microsoft
Office

of the automated features
