.NET 4.5 for Windows Embedded POSReady 2009

Question

Is it possible to install .NET 4.5 on Windows Embedded POSReady 2009?

Essentially I would like to run WPF 4.5 applications.

I cannot find anything online, but as far as I understand POSReady 2009 is similar to Windows XP SP3 which does not support .NET 4.5.

Solution 1

No. Windows Embedded 2009 is a SKU of Windows XP, which means .NET 4.5 and up is not supported. The last version you can install is .NET 4.0.3.

Solution 2

According to the MSDN page Microsoft .NET Framework Versions Supported by Windows Embedded Products, Windows Embedded POSReady 2009 supports .NET Framework versions 3.5 SP1 and 4.0, but not v4.5 or higher.
