About this task
If the Microsoft Visual Studio redistributable or Microsoft .NET Framework are not installed, the setup.exe file tries to install them from Microsoft. If your internet options are configured to not allow downloads, the process fails. Obtain the files from https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=746572 and https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=49981 and install the files manually.
The installer registers the Verify Gateway for Windows Credential Provider and the Credential Provider for Windows Filter that accompanies the Verify Gateway for Windows Credential Provider in the Window Registry. The installer does not provide any Verify Gateway for Windows Login configuration. The configuration must be completed manually before the Verify Gateway for Windows Login can operate.
By default the product is installed into the C:\Program Files\IBM\WindowsLogin directory.
