Requirements for .NET Framework

Before You Install Wise Package Studio

Wise Package Studio Getting Started Guide
The .NET Framework is required for advanced .NET support in Windows Installer Editor.
The .NET Framework requires Microsoft® Internet Explorer 5.01 or later and one of the
operating systems supported by Wise Package Studio.
Version 1.1 of the .NET Framework is required by the Wise Web Capture tool. Later
versions may be installed also, but Wise Web Capture works with version 1.1 only.
You might need to gather information, from a team leader, system administrator,
database administrator, or other team members, that will enable you to install Wise
Package Studio correctly for your environment.
Review the configuration best practices to determine the best configuration for your
environment.
See Configuration Best Practices
If you are upgrading from a previous version of Wise Package Studio, back up the
existing share point directory and Wise Package Studio databases.
Have serial numbers available during installation. If this is an upgrade, you also
need the serial number of the previous version. To find this, open the previous
version of Wise Package Studio and select Help menu > About.
(Professional Edition only) If you plan to use a hidden share for the destination
directory, create the directory and designate it as hidden before you install Wise
Package Studio. Although this configuration is allowed, we do not recommend it.
Find out what share point directory to use. In a multi-user environment, the share
point directory must be on a shared network drive. All users in a workgroup must
specify the same share point directory during installation. This lets all users access
the same packages and data.
See Choosing the Location for the Share Point Directory
If you have been using a previous version of Wise Package Studio, you can use your
existing share point, but data will be updated to a new format.
(Professional Edition only) Obtain the following information about the databases you
are using for Wise Package Studio:
The name of the server that contains the database and the authentication
method (NT or SQL Server) that the database uses.
Whether the database has been created or whether you need to create it during
installation. If it does not exist or needs to be upgraded, you need database
administrator privileges to create or upgrade it.
So that you can create databases, either your currently logged on user profile
must have database administrator privileges on the database server, or you
must have the SQL user name and password of a database administrator
available.
If you plan to use SQL Server authentication, you will need to create users
during installation. These users will have access to the database you create. You
need to know what user IDs to create.
