Please note that a particular MX build might specify it needs a particular version of Mono. Hence, although normally you can upgrade any (CumulusMX.exe, ExportToMySQL.exe, CreateMissing.exe, proposed CreateRecords.exe) cumulus package without upgrading Mono, sometimes you will need to upgrade Mono, and that means following above install instructions again. | Please note that a particular MX build might specify it needs a particular version of Mono.

The complete mono package includes a component (mono-xsp4) that creates a simple web server to run ASP.NET 4.0 applications. MX does not need this, so type <code>sudo update-rc.d mono-xsp4 disable</code>, to stop it being used (without needing to do a <code>sudo apt remove</code> followed by the name of component you no longer want). | The complete mono package includes a component (mono-xsp4) that creates a simple web server to run ASP.NET 4.0 applications.
