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:

Microsoft 2005 VC++ Redistributable: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=3387
Microsoft 2010 VC++ Redistributable: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/2977003/the-latest-supported-visual-c-downloads
Microsoft 2013 VC++ Redistributable: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/2977003/the-latest-supported-visual-c-downloads
Microsoft 2015 VC++ Redistributable: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/2977003/the-latest-supported-visual-c-downloads

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.
