What VC++ Redistributables and .NET Frameworks does the IG .NET installer place onto a system?

Question

During the installation of ImageGear for .NET (v23.4 and above), the installer reaches out to Microsoft’s site to download the VC++ redistributable and .NET packages. Which one(s) does it download?

Answer

The ImageGear for .NET installer places the following redistributables onto a system:

In addition to this, the following .NET framework versions are installed:

  • Microsoft .NET Framework 2.x
  • Microsoft .NET Framework 3.0
  • Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5
  • Microsoft .NET Framework 4.0

So, if a system already has all of these installed on it, this should prevent the installer from trying to reach out to download them.
