    Software Prerequisites This STAAD.Pro installation package will attempt to install all the required prerequisites for STAAD.Pro CONNECT Edition, before installing STAAD.Pro itself. If the current system does not have Microsoft .NET Framework Version 4.6.2 installed, this installation package will attempt download the relevant installer from Microsoft hosted web site and thus an active Internet connection is a must for successful execution of installation tasks.
    Note: ".NET Framework" is large installation and if needed on the local system may require considerable time to complete the installation depending on the Internet connection state and download speed available.

    The following required runtime components are packaged with this installer:

    • Microsoft .NET Framework 4.6.1
    • Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable
    • Microsoft Visual C++ 2012 Redistributable
    • Microsoft Visual C++ 2013 Redistributable
    • Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 Redistributable
    • Microsoft SQL Server Compact 3.5 SP2
    • Microsoft Access Database engine (2010)

    Microsoft Internet Explorer, minimum v11.0, with 128-bit cipher strength. Microsoft no longer supports any versions prior to v11.0. Internet Explorer is not installed as part of the product pre-requisites.

    Copyrights in all components are owned by Microsoft Corporation or one of its affiliates, subsidiaries, or licensors.

    It is highly recommended that you close any programs and disable any antivirus software that is running prior to the installation of this software. Be sure to turn your antivirus software back on again when you are finished.
