You can run the dotNetFx40_Client_x86_x64.exe file to install all required Microsoft .NET
Framework prerequisites and the Microsoft .NET Framework 4 Client Profile files. However,
SMART recommends that you download the latest version of the Microsoft .NET Framework files
from the Microsoft website. For information on deploying the Microsoft .NET Framework, refer to
the .NET Framework deployment guide for administrators on the MSDN website
(msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee390831.aspx).
The third-party installation packages are located on the DVD in

Language files
If you plan to deploy the installation packages in a language other than English (U.S.), ensure the
corresponding MST file for the language is in the same folder as the MSI file (see Installation
language files and codes on page 59).
Similarly, if you want users to be able to view and use the software in a language other than English,
you must download and install the appropriate language pack (see Language packs on page 60).
