If using Windows 7 or earlier:

No worries.

ip4 1.0.3 requires the .Net Framework 4.0, and that is probably already installed on your computer, but if it's not then Windows will automatically prompt you when ip4 is run.

If you don't want the .Net Framework 4.0 installed on your computer, or want a version of ip4 that can run on any Windows PC, then use v1.0.1, and keep the ip4.exe.config file in the same directory with it — this file informs Windows that ip4 v1.0.1 is compatible with later Frameworks, such as those which ship with Windows 8+.

Windows 8/8.1/10 friendlier

• If you have Windows 8 or later then this version of ip4 saves having to install an older version of the .Net Framework.
• It also works with earlier versions of Windows, provided the .Net Framework update was applied.

If you have an earlier version of Windows and haven't updated to .Net Framework 4.0 or later, and don't want to, you should use v1.0.1 of ip4.

If you just want one version that can run on any Windows PC, then use v1.0.1 and keep the ip4.exe.config file in the same directory with it - this file informs Windows that v1.0.1 is compatible with later Frameworks.

v1.0.1

This version requires that either:

• You have .Net Framework v2 installed on your computer. All versions of Windows up to Windows 7 have this, Windows 8 is the first that doesn't. Windows 8 users might be interested in v1.0.2 of ip4.exe instead, as that won't need ip4.exe.config.

or

• You place the ip4.exe.config file in the same directory with ip4.exe. (the file indicates that ip4 is compatible with .Net Framework v4)

If you keep v1.01 of ip4.exe together with ip4.exe.config, then you have a version of the tool that should run on any computer.
