ABOUT the NAT32 Version 2 Distribution.
HOW TO uninstall NAT32 Version 2.
Why is the distribution file so large?
NAT32 Version 2.1 was built with Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 and required that the exact same run-time libraries be available on the target system in order to run. Therefore, the Microsoft Visual Studio redistributables had to be included in the distribution and needed to be installed on the target system before NAT32 could run. An installer (setup.exe and setup.msi) therefore had to be included in the distribution.
NAT32 Version 2.2 was also built with Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 but requires no special run-time libraries on the target system because static linking is used. The resulting distribution is therefore much smaller.
Why is a Windows Installer required?
NAT32 Version 2.2 doesn't actually require "installation" in the Windows sense, but an installer is used simply to compress and package the application, its initialisation files and the help files.
What else is included in the distribution?
NAT32 Version 2.2 supports the Virtual WiFi features of Windows 7, and an external program called SoftAP.exe is provided in order to start, stop and manage the Virtual WiFi network. That application is around 1.5MB in size, even though it performs only a few rudimentary operations. However, it uses a large C++ GUI Framework and so the resulting executable is severely bloated by the inclusion of that supporting framework.A future build of NAT32 will have an integrated Virtual WiFi manager and so the SoftAP executable will no longer be required.
