Installation of XMLFox includes the following three steps:

1. Install .NET Framework

The XMLFox is written for .NET Framework 2.0. 
Before launch XMLFox setup package you need to install on your computer the MS
.NET Framework 2.0 redistributable package  NetFx64.exe.  It is available as a 
stand-alone executable file.As a result of downloading you will receive a file
named NetFx64.exe. Use NetFx64.exe for deployment purposes.

Download NetFx64.exe from:
http://download.microsoft.com/download/a/3/f/a3f1bf98-18f3-4036-9b68-8e6de530ce0a/NetFx64.exe

Note that administrator privileges are required to install NetFx64.exe.  If you 
have previously installed the .NET 2.0 Framework SDK or Microsoft Visual Studio
2005, you do not need to install NetFx64.exe.

How to detect .NET 2.0 framework installed or not? 
You need MS .NET 2.0 framework to run this application. The .NET framework is a 
foundation that a wide variety of applications  can build on without  repeating 
basic information, and vertical apps can be very small in size. The .NET should 
not hurt your PC in any way.  Here is how  to check if you have .NET,  and what 
version:
Go to Control Panel of your PC. Then select 'Add or Remove Programs' and see if
it is listed there. If it is you have it, if it is not - you need to install it. 
If there is the following record presented in the Programs list:
Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0      you do not need to install .NET Framework 2.0. 
Otherwise you need to download and install .NET Framework 2.0.

2. Install Data Access Components

After downloading and installing the NetFx64.exe,  which contains .NET Framework 
redistributable package, you will need to install mdac_typ.exe. XMLFox relies on 
a number of database connectivity options that are available for free.These come 
in Microsoft's  MDAC_TYP.EXE.  To check if you have it installed or what version 
you have please download  MDAC_TYP.EXE  and run it. It will provide you with the
information about what version  of MDAC is currently installed on your PC if any 
present.

http://download.microsoft.com/download/3/b/f/3bf74b01-16ba-472d-9a8c-42b2b4fa0d76/mdac_typ.exe
