Additional software requirements

To use the Office integration features in Reflection, Microsoft Office 2007 or later must be installed.

Prerequisite software — Microsoft .NET Framework

Reflection Desktop requires .NET Framework 4.5.1 or later. If the required .NET Framework isn't installed, the Reflection Setup program installs version 4.5.1 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 4.5.1, 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 7.0. 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 7.0 MSI and an appropriate language specific MSI (these MSIs are in the Prerequisites folder, in the distribution media).
