Microsoft.Net 2.0 required on Windows 2K/XP/2K3
 
[justify] The installer will notify you if you don't have Microsoft.net 2.0 installed on your system and a download page will be open in your default web browser. The .net redistributable package is about 22MB and DosBlaster will not run without Microsoft.Net 2.0. [/justify]
