Proprietary software in the package - Albator - 04-11-2016
Hello,
The Wings 3D installer tests if Microsoft Visual C++ 2013 is installed and if not, install it. MSVC++ is included in the installer package. It would be better not to include it but to download the latest version. It would be better to separate Wings 3D that is a free software and not include into it a proprietary library.

Nah ... installing runtimes from MS for visual whatever is typical. It does not seem to hurt me to have some editions I don't need. Hard disks are huge. What is your actual objection ?

It would be better to test if it's already installed and if not, download and install it, like HandBrake, HexChat, ShareX, PHPServer, Shareaza... are doing. So, free softwares and proprietary softwares are separated.
I removed Wings 3D from next version of http://www.numopen.fr/compilibre-en for the moment.
