Does the Splunk UF use .NET Framework?

Hello - 

Does the Splunk UF require .NET Framework to be installed in order to run on Windows servers?

I am trying to determine if there are any .NET Framework dependencies for the Splunk Universal Forwarder.

Thanks!

The Splunk Universal Forwarder does not need any additional software installed.  Everything it needs is in the package.
