If you download the
Setup program
of the package, any requirements for
running applications, such as dynamic link libraries
(DLL's) from the dependencies as listed below under Requirements, are
already included. If you download the package as Zip files, then you must
download and install the
dependencies zip file
yourself.
Developer files (header files and libraries) from other
packages are however not included; so if you wish to develop your own
applications, you must separately install the required packages.
