SB8 PART I: New Core PreRequisites...

[NewsArchive]

Over the next few weeks, I'll discuss several new features and techniques
that we've developed for SetupBuilder 8 (SB8) and Windows 8 deployment.

-- PART I: New SB8 Core PreRequisites --

Most applications have pre-requisites: Components such as the .NET Framework
runtime, SQL Express, DirectX 9.0c, etc. must be available on a target
computer in order for the application to run. The Core PreRequisites
feature in SetupBuilder makes it possible to streamline the installation
process and to ensure the pre-requisite components are in place.

In SB8 Developer Edition, we have added new Core PreRequisites:

- Microsoft Visual C++ 2012 (x86)
- Microsoft Visual C++ 2012 (x64)
- Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5 (x86, x64)

We have updated the following Core PreRequisite(s):

- Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 (x86) to support SP0 and SP1.


More Win8 stuff to come...
