Downloading Redistributables From the Wise Web Site
Windows Installer Editor Reference
Use a report's table of contents to quickly access information about a specific type of
resource. You can print the report or save it as an HTML or XML file.
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 through the Internet.
This wizard appears any time Windows Installer Editor detects a dependency on other
merge modules or other redistributables. Example: If you run ApplicationWatch and it
adds a file 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 to the installation that are part of a merge module.
Download redistributable files from the following locations:
Wise Web Site
Other Vendors' Web
Sites
If you need to go through a firewall or proxy server to get to the Internet, the Download
Redistributables wizard uses your browser's proxy settings. To change your Internet
connection settings, refer to your browser's documentation.
You must be in an active Wise installation to follow this procedure.
