I posted this on a general page but thought it would be useful here where everyone can see it. These are the parts, requirements, et al for many 2nd tier programs.
I'll update this with C/C+/C# runtimes, Douglas Peril Underscripting, and Python Overscripting/Postscripting once I figure out direct links to those pages.
.NET should be installed by Anyone who uses 2nd tier software (or lower).
