System requirements: Hotkeycontrol runs on Windows Vista/XP/2003 operating systems. Additionally, Microsoft .Net Framework 2.0 must be installed on your machine. Microsoft .Net Framework 2.0 is a runtime environment offered freely by Microsoft and is needed to run the latest applications designed for Microsoft Windows.
Upgrading Instructions: If you already have Hotkeycontrol 5.x installed on your machine, please uninstall it before running Hotkeycontrol 6 installer. Note: You can take the backup of your settings directory before uninstalling 5.x and use the same after installing 6 since both versions use the same format.
