Clarion 9 install on Windows 8.1

[NewsArchive]

Clarion 9 Developers Only!

There are still some developers who do not accept the offer to install the
"Microsoft Visual C++ 2005" and/or the "Microsoft Visual C++ 2008"
redistributables. SoftVelocity does not display the redistributable
requirement just for fun <g>. Even if you already have a VC++2005 and/or
VC++2008 library installed, your Clarion 9 system needs a specific version!

First of all, I have developed a small tool (C9_Manager.exe) to display the
status of your C9 VC++ redistributables.

The attached screenshots show the installation procedure on a fresh and
clean Windows 8.1 RTM (x64) machine.

1. The .NET Framework 2.0 is not a core component of the Windows 8.1
operating system. The installer can download and activate it for you. Do
not try to use your own .NET Framework 2.0 redistributables.

2. The required VC++2005 libraries are not a core component of the Windows
8.1 operating system. The installer can install the Core PreRequisite for
you. Answer the "Would you like to install it now" with the "Yes" button.
The redistributable is embedded in the setup.exe.

3. The required VC++2008 libraries are not a core component of the Windows
8.1 operating system. The installer can install the Core PreRequisite for
you. Answer the "Would you like to install it now" with the "Yes" button.
The redistributable is embedded in the setup.exe.

After the PreRequisite setup, you'll see the "Welcome" screen.
