# Configure Environment Prerequisites
Before you can deploy and run Microsoft Enterprise Desktop Virtualization (MED-V) 2.0, you must ensure that your environment meets the following minimum prerequisites.
**Windows 7**
The MED-V Host Agent and the MED-V Workspace Packager are only supported in Windows 7 or newer.
**Windows XP SP3**
The MED-V Guest Agent is only supported in Windows XP SP3.
**.NET Framework 3.5 SP1**
The MED-V Host and Guest agents and the MED-V Workspace Packager require the Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 SP1.
**Important**  
You must also install the update [KB959209](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=204950) (https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=204950), which addresses several known application compatibility issues.
 
**Note**  
You must manually install the .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 and the update KB959209 into the Windows Virtual PC image that you prepare for use with MED-V. However, by default, the Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 and the update are included when you install Windows 7 on the host computer.
 
**An Active Directory Infrastructure**
Group Policy provides the centralized management and configuration of operating systems, applications, and users' settings in an Active Directory environment.
