   Parameter	Description
   Service Pack	MS Windows service pack version
   Internet Explorer	MS Internet Explorer version
   ADO	Microsoft Data Access - ActiveX Data Objects version
   ODBC	Microsoft Data Access - ODBC Driver for Oracle version
   XML Parser	MS XML Parser version
   Runtime	System path to an older Foundation1 runtime. The value "Not Found!" is shown if no such runtime is found. Typically, the system path is used for older Foundation1 version (3.0.3 and earlier) and should only be found when such installations exist. Having multiple Foundation1 installations running on the same client machine is possible but requires a certain installation process, found in the Release Notes for IFS Base Server.

	When the Setup.exe is located on a network using a UNC path, there's no guarantee that the setup process will install all components properly. This problem is avoided by mapping a drive to the UNC path and starting the Setup.exe from the mapped drive.
