Download .NET Explorer 2024
Current release version: 2024.03.0.150
Mac version coming soon.
I have to figure out how the Apple application signing works (or slay the GateKeeper).
An important word about anti-virus
I have used most of the A/V products in past, and am currently using Norton. Norton sees and scans my product components all the time, and no problem. Now put those same file up on the Web and download them: now it is a whole new game. Norton has both quarantined my own files, and more often just whines that I should not trust a download that does not have a large community of users. Sigh.
Please scan my downloads, and trust that this is a legitimate commercial application, and override your A/V. Please use the Contact tab in the application if you have problems. I will fight the A/V vendors. Thank you - Jim.
I am currently looking for 200 developer's who are willing to give me feedback of what you think of this product.
If you are interested, email me at mvp@softwaredog.net and I will send you a license.
You can send me feedback in the program itself, or simply email it to feedback@softwaredog.net. Thank you!
3* - an assembly resolver is given a logical assembly name, and attempts to find a file with that name, and an appropriate version.
I tried for a long time to provide you a single-file application, but my obfuscator produces unusable output. I am currently looking at .NET 8.0 Ahead-Of-Time compilation which results in small files and faster start-up, but causes problem with ASP.NET's use of reflection. Fingers crossed.

From a console (CMD, bash, PowerShell, cmder, Take Command, etc.) change to the directory where you installed the product, and type:
./DotNetExplorer [ --version -dr ] [ --help ] [ --urls="http://localhost:9000" ]
The square brackets are optional parameters:
- --version -dr prints the current version and does not run the Web server;
- --help prints some command-line options, mostly used for trouble-shooting; and
- --urls runs the Web server on port 9000 because you are already using 5000 yourself
Now open your favorite browser and navigation to http://localhost:5000 or whatever port the server says it is listening on.
The application will run in a trial mode until a purchased license is registered.
Note: R1 and R2 can be run from the command line, but are designed for inter-process communication with DotNetExplorer
No fuss zip and tarballs, no elevated privilege required.
Simply choose your OS and preferred download format, create an install directory, and extract the download to that location.
PLEASE NOTE: I have only tested the Linux version on Ubuntu, Fedora and Debian;
I expect it will work on other Linux distributions.
