The following requirements need to be met to use Wake On LAN Ex.
- Windows 7 SP1, Windows 8, Windows 8.1, Windows 10, or higher
- Microsoft .NET Framework 4.8 Full
A Windows operating system that is Windows 7 with at least Service Pack 1 or higher is required. This is an indirect Wake On LAN Ex requirement; version 4.8 of the Microsoft .NET framework requires at least this version of the OS.
If you're using Windows XP pre-SP3 or Windows 98, you can instead use the previous Wake On LAN Ex 2 release series.
Wake On LAN Ex has been built on the .NET framework, specifically version 4.8. Please note that the Full version of the framework is required, and not just the Client version that is shipped with some Windows-equipped PCs.
The offline installer for 4.8 can be downloaded from the Microsoft site here.
