| Directory | Component |
|---|---|
| 3rdParty\Sequelink | SequeLink Socket Server and ODBC driver 6.0 |
| 3rdParty\Triedit | Microsoft DHTML Editing Controls for Applications 1.0 |

If you perform a Strategy installation in which these third-party components are not accessible to the installation routine, a missing requirements warning can be encountered while performing an installation.
