[All Release Notes and Changes]

Dependencies
This program requires a number of files which most target users of this software will already have installed on their system. They have not been included in most of the setup files in order to keep the size of the download to an acceptable level and minimise version incompatibilities between operating system versions.

These dependencies are:

Visual Basic 6.0 service pack 5 runtimes:
If the system does not run at all once it is installed then you need to download these from microsoft directly (Q290887)

MDAC:
The system will test for the installation of this, and prompt you if it is not installed and you can download them from clicking on the link provided in the application or from microsoft directly www.microsoft.com/data

JET:
The system will test for the installation of this and prompt you if it is not found. Jet can be downloaded directly from microsoft. (kb:271908)

DCOM:
The system will test for the installation of these, prompt you if they are not found and provide a button which will take you to the download location, alternatively you can download them from microsoft directly if you are on Windows 95 or Windows 98

Microsoft Scripting:
The reporting and macro parts of Compendium-TA rely on Microsoft Scripting technology this is installed with later versions of Internet Explorer but if you find the reporting functionality missing then you need to install it and can get the install from www.microsoft.com/scripting

If you need any assistance getting Compendium-TA running then please contact us (support@compendiumdev.co.uk)
