Citect 2015 Webclient Prereqs

in the install files of Citect 2015 there is a folder for Webclient Prerequisites. Are all of these necessary as prerequisites for users? Testing an environment where the cab file is not able to retrieve what is necessary automatically. There is the following.

1. Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable - x86 8.0.50727

2. Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 C++ Redistributable

3. Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 C++ Redistributable

4. Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 C++ Redistributable (x64)

5. Microsoft Visual Studio 2012 C++ Redistributable

6. MSXML 6.0 SP1

Thanks in advance

  •  Hi ,

    These prerequisites are required by the product to ensure that the configuration environment and runtime are functional correctly. If you refer WebClient to legacy ActiveX based web client, these files won't be included in the cab file. The workaround is to launch the installer on the target machine to install the prerequisites (cancelling the install after prerequisites are completed).

    Please keep in mind that Citect SCADA 2015 (v7.50) is pretty old. This release and some of its dependencies have security vulnerabilities, such as MSXML 6.0 SP1 where specific vulnerabilities such as the MSXML Integer Truncation Vulnerability (CVE-2013-0006) and those detailed in MS08-069 and other bulletins were addressed by updates that modify how MSXML parses XML content. 

    I strongly recommend that you should upgrade the system to the recent releases.

    Regards,
