If you are buying pieces separately (the rail from one brand and heads from another), you must check the . Most common are H-Type (Halo), J-Type (Juno), and L-Type (Lightolier). They are not interchangeable. If you’re a beginner, buying an all-in-one track kit is the safest way to ensure everything fits. 3. Mind the Light Source (CRI is Key)
These look like track lighting but mount to a single junction box like a standard light fixture. They are the easiest to install but offer less flexibility in where the heads go. 2. Check the "Bus" Compatibility buy track lighting online
More modern and flexible; you can bend the rail to create curves. These usually require a transformer because they run on low voltage. If you are buying pieces separately (the rail
(e.g., Lumens, YLighting) Best for high-end design and technical support. If you’re a beginner, buying an all-in-one track
Online photos can be deceiving. Measure your ceiling and map out where the "J-box" (the power source) is located. If it’s at the end of the room, you’ll need a . If it’s in the middle, you’ll need a center power feed . Where to Shop:
The problem is with the "dependency". The only dependency is the Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2012. The Chilkat .NET assembly is a mixed-mode assembly, where the inner core is written in C++ and compiles to native code. There is a dependency on the VC++ runtime libs. Given that Visual Studio 2012 is new, it won't be already on most computers. Therefore, it needs to be installed. It can be downloaded from Microsoft here:

If using a .msi install for your app, it should also be possible to include the redist as a merge-module, so that it's automatically installed w/ your app if needed.
Note: Each version of Visual Studio corresponded to a new .NET Framework release:
VS2002 - .NET 1.0 2003 - .NET 1.1 2005 - .NET 2.0 2008 - .NET 3.5 2010 - .NET 4.0 2012 - .NET 4.5The ChilkatDotNet45.dll is for the .NET 4.5 Framework, and therefore needs the VC++ 2012 runtime to be present on the computer.
Likewise, the ChilkatDotNet4.dll is for the 4.0 Framework and needs the VC++ 2010 runtime.
The ChilkatDotNet2.dll is for the 2.0/3.5 Frameworks and requires the VC++ 2005 runtime. (It is unlikely you'll find a computer that doesn't already have the VC++ 2005 runtime already installed.)
