Software requirements

These are the software requirements for AVEVA™ XR.

Operating system

• Windows 10 operating system and later.

Supplied prerequisites

The XR Installer requires .NET Desktop Runtime 8.0.21.

The installer will automatically check the system and prompt you to download if it is not installed.

There are no other software prerequisites for you to install separately.

Note: On some versions of the Windows operating system, you may need to install the Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable packages in order for the application to run correctly. You can download the required redistributables from the official Microsoft page: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/windows/latest-supported-vc-redist

Path length consideration

Some AVEVA XR Studio projects may generate directory structures and file names that exceed the default Windows MAX_PATH limit of 260 characters. This is a known Windows/.NET behavior. If you encounter errors related to long file paths, you may consider enabling Win32 long-path support.

Windows 10 version 1607 and later, as well as Windows 11, allow long paths to be enabled either via Local Group Policy or by setting the LongPathsEnabled registry key to 1 under:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\FileSystem

This removes the legacy MAX_PATH limitation for applications that support long-path awareness.
