51<h2>Operating Environment</h2>
52<h3>.NET Framework</h3>
53<p>
54In order to launch LayoutEditor you need Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 Service Pack 1.<br> Note that we cannot guarantee operations for versions of the .NET Framework other than 3.5 SP1.
55</p>
56<h3>DirectX End-User Runtime</h3>
57<p>
58LayoutEditor uses DirectX for rendering the Layout window. Although this will operate in an environment in which DirectX is not installed, parameters such as texture mapping and vertex colors cannot be properly verified in the Layout window. For this reason, we recommend that you install the DirectX End-User Runtime.<br> LayoutEditor has been confirmed to work with Microsoft DirectX 9.0c (June 2007). For this reason, we recommend that you install a version of DirectX newer than 9.0c (June 2007).<br>
