Mandatory Code Dependencies

Microsoft .NET Framework

Microsoft .NET Framework v4

The Audiokinetic Launcher automatically installs this component before it installs Wwise. However, if you deploy Wwise without the Launcher (through Perforce or some other source control system), you must install the .NET Framework manually in order to run the File Packager. Refer to Microsoft .NET Framework 4 (Web Installer).

Microsoft DirectX®

DirectX June 2010 runtime

The Audiokinetic Launcher automatically installs this component before it installs Wwise. However, if you deploy Wwise without the Launcher (through Perforce or some other source control system), you must install the DirectX runtime manually. Refer to Microsoft Download Center.

	Note
	Wwise runs normally even if you do not have the required version of DirectX. However, the Game Object 3D Viewer is not available and you might not be able to test Motion in Wwise.

Microsoft Visual Studio Redistributable

The following redistributables must be installed to run the Wwise authoring tool:

The Launcher automatically detects if these are on your system and, if not, installs them before it installs Wwise.
