MDXEdit is tested using Windows 2000 with SP1 or SP2. It may be compatible with other Windows platforms, but requires the latest version of Windows Installer on your computer to run the download installation.
MDXEdit Toolkit is now developed using Windows 2000 SP2 and Visual Studio .NET 2003.
MDXEdit Toolkit may also be built using Windows 2000 SP2 and Visual C++ version 6.0 SP5. The help system requires the HTML Help Workshop, which can be downloaded free from Microsoft.
