What Are the Installation Requirements for the Intel® Virtual RAID on CPU (Intel® VROC) Graphical User Interface (GUI) Application?

Description

When trying to install Intel® VROC 8.0 on a Windows Server* 2019 Standard, an error message stops the process, but when installing Intel® VROC 7.8 the process ends without problem.

Resolution

With the release of Intel® VROC 8.0, the Graphical User Interface (GUI) application was also updated.

If you are installing Intel® VROC 8.0 or higher, you will see the new GUI application, but if you are installing an older release (Intel® VROC 7.x or lower), you will continue seeing the legacy GUI application.

Legacy* Intel® VROC GUI (Intel® VROC 7.x or lower)

New* Intel® VROC GUI (Intel® VROC 8.0 or higher)

Each application has different installation requirements. Depending on which one you are installing, make sure you meet the requirements below:

Requirements for Legacy Intel® VROC GUI (Intel® VROC 7.x or lower)	Requirements for New Intel® VROC GUI (Intel® VROC 8.0 or higher)
Microsoft .NET Framework* 4.7.2 (or higher)	Microsoft Windows* Desktop Runtime 6.0.3 (x64) (or higher) Microsoft Visual C++ 2015–2019 Redistributable (x64) - 14.24.28127.4 (or higher)

Additional information

If you are using the new Intel® VROC GUI (Intel® VROC 8.0 or higher), you can find more information in the Intel® Virtual RAID on CPU (Intel® VROC) User Guide for Windows*. If you are still using the legacy Intel® VROC GUI (Intel® VROC 7.x or lower), refer to your system vendor documentation for additional information.
