COM/NET Support (Visual Basic Application Environment Extensions)
The COM/NET Support screen allows you to install additional software that extends the functionality of Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications (VBA). VBA is the programming language used to develop mobile applications in the Mobile Development Studio.
No COM/NET - Choose this third option if you DO NOT plan on developing applications in the Mobile Development Studio, or, you want to simply skip installation of COM/NET right now. You can choose to install it later via this installer.
COM/NET 4.0 – Choose this option if you plan on developing or customizing applications in the Mobile Development Studio and do not have mobile apps using scripts coded with dependencies to older versions COM or NET. COM/NET 4.0 is not backwards compatible with older versions of code.
Note 1: Once you install COM/NET 4.0, it cannot be removed individually without removing the entire set of products.
Note 2: If you are planning on connecting the RFgen Mobile Development Studio to the Microsoft Team Foundation Server for code management (source control) purposes, the Microsoft .Net Framework 4.5 is required on the same system where your RFgen Mobile Development Studio is installed.
COM/NET 2.0 – Choose this option if you plan on developing new mobile applications or mobile applications that you plan on modifying and you know these use the VBA code used this version of COM/NET.
Note: Once you install COM/NET 2.0 it cannot be removed individually without removing the entire set of products.
