Software Pre-requisites

Create will check for installed pre-requisites when run (via the setup.exe) and ask if you want to download and install any that are not present. 

Please note that users will need Administrator privileges to install these pre-requisites if not present and for the initial installation of Create you will need an internet connection:

• to download and register the product and will need to connect to the internet periodically to validate the license; and 
• to download updates to the software, customisations and help guides
• Create will automatically check for Updates every 14 days.

Microsoft .NET must be installed before Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Tools for Office Runtime, so please ensure that you install them in the following order (see link below):

1. Microsoft .NET Framework 4.6.2 (for Create 10.0–10.4)
or
Microsoft .NET Framework 4.7.2 (for Create 10.5 onwards)
2. Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Tools for Office Runtime
3. Latest Microsoft Office Service Packs (SP) for relevant each version of Office and Windows in use
4. Language Packs (where applicable, see below)

Note that Create 10.5 onwards require Microsoft .NET Framework 4.7.2 whereas earlier versions of Create 10 require Microsoft .NET Framework 4.6.2. If an attempt to load Create 10.5 onwards is made and .NET Framework 4.7.2 is not installed, the following message will appear.
