Four decisions come before the first WPF window with TX Text Control .NET for WPF 34.0: the framework your application targets, the Windows version you develop on, the Visual Studio you use and whether the application runs as a 32-bit or a 64-bit process. [Supported Platforms](https://docs.textcontrol.com/tx-text-control-dotnet-wpf/overview/platforms/#at-a-glance) answers each one in a single line, and one page per decision below gives the details.

### Where to Start

For a new application, begin with [.NET and .NET Framework](https://docs.textcontrol.com/tx-text-control-dotnet-wpf/installation/requirements/dotnet/llms-full.txt): the framework decides whether your project gets TX Text Control from the NuGet package or from the assemblies of the setup.
