System Manager Prerequisites Installation

The Prerequisites installer performs a system check installs the following software as needed:

  • Microsoft .NET Framework 4.0 Full for Windows 7 and below OS

  • Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable package (x64)

  • Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable package (x86)

  • MSXML 4.0 SP3 for all OS

  • Microsoft SQL Server 2012 (x86 & x64)

If the EMSERVER instance is created in an already-installed version of SQL Server (licensed SQL or SQL Express), the installer will skip SQL installation.

If you prefer to use a licensed SQL server on a remote machine, the Prerequisites installer will still install a local EMSERVER SQL Express instance.
After installation, you can select the remote SQL server in the System Manager Configuration tool (see Run Quickstart), and then delete the local instance.
