Runtimes

WiseScript Package Editor Reference
WiseScript Package Editor only
Use the Runtimes page to select various runtimes to include with the installation.
Runtimes are sometimes pre-selected after running the Import Visual Basic Project tool
or ApplicationWatch. To add ODBC data sources, use the ODBC page. See
page 63.
Warning
Installing the wrong version of runtime support files can cause the end user's
applications to stop running properly and can even disable the operating system. Before
deploying any installation that installs runtimes, select Help menu > Download Runtimes
to get the latest runtime updates.
To add a runtime
1. Select Installation Expert > Runtimes page.
2. Mark the check box of the runtime to add.
For many runtimes, a dialog box then appears where you can specify the version of
the runtime or other settings. You can edit these runtime settings by selecting the
runtime and clicking Details. If no dialog box appears when you mark a runtime,
then that runtime has no settings to edit.
A description section at the bottom of the Runtimes page provides information on the
currently-selected runtime.
Microsoft Data Access Components
The MDAC section of the Runtimes page lists the different versions of Microsoft Data
Access Components (MDAC) that are available to distribute with your application.
Database Runtime
The Database Runtime section of the Runtimes page lists connectivity runtimes. If your
application requires any database connectivity, you probably need to include one of
these options in the installation.
Visual Studio Support
The Visual Studio Support section of the Runtimes page lists Visual Basic, Visual FoxPro,
and Visual C++ runtimes. If the application you're deploying was developed using one of
these development languages, you might need to have the appropriate runtime pre-
installed to ensure a complete and error-free installation.
Windows Runtime
The Windows Runtime section of the Runtimes page lists common Windows runtimes.
Add these runtimes when the runtime is critical to the application you are deploying, and
when you expect that the end users do not have the runtime installed.
Crystal Reports Runtime
The Crystal Reports Runtime section of the Runtimes page lists Crystal Reports
runtimes.
