Additional Setup
----------------
  .NET Framework
    The .NET Framework itself is not required by this driver. If you
    plan to use the driver with .NET, the minimal .NET framework version is 2.0.

  The .NET Framework requires an interop assembly for a COM
  server. A Primary Interop Assembly, along with an XML file for
  IntelliSense is installed with the driver. The driver's PIA, along
  with IVI PIAs are installed, by default, in:
  <drive>:\Program Files\IVI Foundation\IVI\Bin\Primary Interop Assemblies

  The PIA is also installed into the Global Assembly Cache (GAC) if
  you have the .NET framework installed.
