## .NET Framework dependency

Tentacle for Windows is published as either a .NET Framework dependent executable or a self-contained executable. The framework-dependent Tentacle will require a compatible version of .NET Framework to be installed. The self-contained Tentacle bundles the .NET runtime with the application. To learn more about .NET publishing options, see the [Microsoft docs](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/core/deploying/).

Once you have installed one type of Tentacle, future updates of Tentacle done via Octopus Server will respect the current publishing mode.

Tentacles can be configured to communicate in Listening mode or Polling mode. Listening mode is the recommended communication style. Learn about the differences between the two modes and when you might choose to use Polling mode instead of Listening mode on the [Tentacle communication](/docs/infrastructure/deployment-targets/tentacle/tentacle-communication) page.
