The Platform Installer handles installing prerequisites for NServiceBus and the Platform products. This guide details how to install to achieve the same results as the Platform Installer on a computer that does not have the required Internet connectivity.
.NET Prerequisite Version
The Particular platform products require .NET 4.5.2. Before proceeding ensure that this version of .NET is available on the system. More detailed information about .NET can be found on the Wikipedia .NET Overview.
Platform Installer Components
The Platform Installer installs 4 component parts:
- NServiceBus Prerequisites
- ServiceControl

Each of these will be detailed below:
