Installing IBM MQ classes for .NET Framework
IBM® MQ classes for .NET Framework, including samples, are installed with IBM MQ. There is a prerequisite of Microsoft.NET Framework on Windows.
The latest version of IBM MQ classes for .NET Framework is installed by default as part of the standard IBM MQ installation in the Java and .NET Messaging and Web Services feature. For installation instructions, see Installing IBM MQ server on Windows or Installing an IBM MQ client on Windows systems.
From IBM MQ 9.3.0, to run IBM MQ classes for .NET Framework you must install Microsoft.NET Framework V4.7.2 or later. This is a change from IBM MQ 9.2 where the minimum required version was V4.6.2.
<configuration>
<startup>
<supportedRuntime version="v4.0" sku=".NETFramework,Version=v4.7.2"/>
</startup>
</configuration>
In a multiple installation environment, if you previously installed the IBM MQ classes for .NET as a support pack, you cannot install IBM MQ unless you first uninstall the support pack. The IBM MQ classes for .NET feature that is installed with IBM MQ contains the same functions as the support pack.
Sample applications, including source files, are also supplied; see Sample applications for .NET.
