This section describes the prerequisites for installing the HoleBASE SI release on your machine. All the application prerequisites are bundled into the HoleBASE SI Installer which will detect and automatically install the required components.
In order to install a number of the prerequisites version 4.5 of the Windows Installer is required. Microsoft Windows Installer is a component of the Windows operating system. Windows Installer provides a standard foundation for installing and uninstalling software.
The Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 SP1 Redistributable Package (x64) installs runtime components of Visual C++ Libraries required to run 64-bit applications developed with Visual C++ 2010 SP1 on a computer that does not have Visual C++ 2010 SP1 installed.
HoleBASE SI requires the Microsoft .NET Framework 4.6.1 which requires version 3.5 SP1 as a prerequisite.
Important Note: The .NET Framework 4 works side by side with older Framework versions. Applications that are based on earlier versions of the Framework will continue to run on the version targeted by default.
.NET 4.6.1 will be installed with the latest release of HBSI as part of the installation process.
If you run the installer that install HoleBASE SI and SQL Server on your machine then the installation will create a specific SQL Server instance called "HOLEBASE" during the installation process and so will not affect any existing default or named instances on any existing SQL Server Express installations.

Before running the installer please ensure that you have one of the supported operating systems (and required Service Pack installed on your machine).
Important Note: During the installation process you may be prompted to restart your machine following the installation of each of the Microsoft prerequisites. Following a restart the installation process should automatically resume.

You will require Administrator Privileges in order to install HoleBASE SI and its prerequisites. All prerequisites are bundled into the HoleBASE SI Installer which auto detects if you have the required versions and then installs them automatically if required. You do not need to download the prerequisites manually.
