Downloading Redistributable Files

The Download Redistributables wizard, available from the Help menu, lets you obtain

merge modules, Windows Installer runtime installers, and .NET Framework runtime

installers. You need the Windows Installer runtimes if you decide to pre-install Windows

Installer with an installation. You need the .NET Framework if you are creating an

installation that contains .NET elements. Because of size and obsolescence

considerations, these files are distributed via the Internet or product CD.

Note

This wizard appears any time Wise for Windows Installer detects a dependency on other

merge modules or other redistributables. Example: If you run ApplicationWatch and a file gets

added that must be installed with a certain merge module, the Download Redistributables

wizard appears and prompts you to download the necessary merge module. This wizard might

also appear if you install runtimes with the installation, or if you add files on the Files page

that are part of a merge module.

Download redistributable files from the following locations:

! Wise Solutions’ Web Site

Select and download one or more redistributables from Wise Solutions’ Web site.

Available redistributables are authored by Wise Solutions or are authored by third-

party vendors and redistributed by Wise Solutions. See Downloading Redistributables

From the Wise Web Site or Product CD on page 39.

! Other Vendors’ Web Sites

Select and download a redistributable from a third-party vendor’s Web site. Available

redistributables are authored by the respective vendor, and you need to contact the

vendor for information or help on these redistributables. See Downloading

Redistributables From Other Vendors’ Web Sites on page 40.

Note

If you need to go through a firewall or proxy server to get to the Internet, click the Advanced

button near the bottom of the Source Location dialog to modify your Internet connection

settings; the Source Location dialog is the first dialog that appears when you use the

Download Redistributables wizard. An Advanced Settings dialog appears, where you can

specify information for your proxy server. For help with these options, ask your network

administrator.

Select and download one or more redistributables from the CD that was used to

install the product. Merge modules available from the product CD are authored by
