Preparing Deployment Operating Systems

Summary

The following are prerequisites that should be installed/configured on the deployment machine prior to installing the HMWV. Note that a SQL Server does not need to be installed on the server hosting the HMWV, but does need to be set up and configured on a machine accessible by the web server.

.NET Framework:

Microsoft® Windows 2003 Server or above is required for hosting the HMWV. Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 or above is required for Windows Communication Foundation support with JSON serialization. Microsoft .NET Framework 4.0 is required for .NET 4.0 builds of the LEADTOOLS DLLs.

Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributables:

Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 SP1 Redistributables are required for .NET 2.0 builds of LEADTOOLS DLLs.
Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 SP1 Redistributables are required for .NET 4.0 builds of LEADTOOLS DLLs.

The installion for both of these redistributables can be found on Microsoft’s web sites.
