NOTE:Where listed in the Hardware Requirements and Supported Operating Systems table, 64-bit operating systems are supported by the 32-bit Reflection Desktop product. The 64-bit .NET Framework Runtime is used on Windows 64-bit operating systems, which also supports native 64-bit applications calling the Reflection .NET API.

Prerequisite software — Microsoft .NET Framework

Reflection Desktop requires .NET Framework 4.7.1 or later. If the required .NET Framework isn't installed, the Reflection Setup program installs version 4.7.1 on all systems except Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R1 and later.

Notes:

  • If you install Reflection directly with MSIand the product features you install do not require .NET 4.7.1, you can add the SKIPDOTNET=1 property to the command line to bypass this test condition.

Microsoft Windows Installer 4.5

The Microsoft Windows Installer (MSI) version 4.5 is distributed with Reflection Desktop.

Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications (VBA)

Reflection Desktop supports Microsoft VBA 7.1. If you select to install this feature in the Reflection Setup program, it is automatically installed. If you install Reflection Desktop directly with MSI or with a deployment tool and you want to install this feature, you must install it directly, using the core VBA 7.1 MSI and an appropriate language specific MSI (these MSIs are in the Prerequisites folder, in the distribution media).
