Determine Requirements

Before starting work on your installation, lay some conceptual groundwork. This will save you time later, as missed requirements can result in hard to reproduce bugs. Requirements that must be determined include:

• Minimum computer hardware requirements (display resolution, color depth, physical memory)
• Minimum computer software requirements (operating system version, Internet Explorer version, any required third party software)
• Redistributable DLLs (programming language support libraries)
• Component updates (programming language runtimes)
• Database platforms (data access components)

InstallAware provides easy ways to check for hardware/software requirements, and install required component updates where necessary. Leverage the power of InstallAware, checking for and enforcing your system requirements.
