UCMA 5.0 Runtime

  • Article

Applies to: Skype for Business 2015

An administrator who is preparing to install a third-party UCMA-enabled application on a deployment computer must download and install UcmaRuntimeSetup.exe. Installing Microsoft Unified Communications Managed API 5.0 Runtime provides all of the UCMA-related functionality needed by a UCMA-enabled application.

UCMA 5.0 Runtime requirements

The following are the hardware and software requirements for installing UCMA 5.0 Runtime:

  • The target platform must be a 64-bit computer.

  • Supported operating systems:

    • Windows 2012 Server R2
    • Windows 2012 Server
    • Windows Server 2008 R2 Service Pack 1
    • Windows 8.1
    • Windows 8
    • Windows 7 Service Pack 1 (SP1) (64-bit): Home Premium, Professional, or Ultimate editions

    Note

    Auto-provisioned applications cannot be deployed on computers running Windows 8.1, Windows 8, Windows 7 or Windows Vista.

  • Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5 (Full Profile)

    • Windows 8 and later versions include .NET Framework 4.5.
    • Windows Server 2008 R2 Service Pack 1 includes .NET Framework 4.5.
    • Windows 7 includes .NET Framework 3.5, so you must update to .NET Framework 4.5.

  • Antivirus software

    Antivirus software can sometimes make such heavy demands on the CPU as to cause audio glitches. For this reason, antivirus software is not recommended for computers running Skype for Business Server 2015. For optimal performance for a server that must run antivirus software, include all Skype for Business Server 2015 computers in the antivirus software’s exception list.

This section describes how to install the Microsoft Unified Communications Managed API 5.0 Runtime and related components.

You must have elevated permissions to install UCMA 5.0 Runtime.

Note

UCMA 5.0 Runtime is installed automatically when you install UCMA 5.0 SDK. For more information, see Installing UCMA 5.0 SDK.

UCMA 5.0 Runtime components

UcmaRuntimeSetup.exe installs the following components:

  • Microsoft  VC++ 2013 Redistributable (x64) 12.0.21005

    Microsoft Unified Communications Managed API 5.0 Runtime is built on .NET Framework 4.5 and Visual C++ 2013 Redistributable Package (x64).

  • Skype for Business Server 2015, Bootstrapper Prerequisites Installer Package

    Copies Skype for Business Server 2015 Core Components MSI (OCSCore.msi) and its prerequisites. OCSCore.msi enables running Lync Server-specific PowerShell cmdlets from the local computer. OCSCore.msi also enables the installation of the local Central Management Store replica, which is required by auto-provisioned UCMA applications.

Note

Side-by-side installations of UCMA 3.0, UCMA 4.0, and UCMA 5.0 are not supported.

OCSCore.msi must be installed by using Bootstrapper Prerequisites Installer Package installed by UcmaRuntimeSetup.exe.

  1. Confirm that Microsoft PowerShell 3.0 RTM is installed on the deployment computer.

  1. Find OCSCore.msi by navigating to:

    %Installation drive%\ProgramData\Microsoft\Skype for Business Server\Deployment\cache\<Build Version>\Setup\ .

  2. Launch OCSCore.msi and use the default settings in the wizard.

Uninstalling UCMA 5.0 Runtime and bootstrapper prerequisites installer

When a customer application is uninstalled, the application uninstall procedure must not automatically uninstall any of the required components (such as .NET Framework 4.5, Visual C++ 2013 Redistributable Package, or UCMA 5.0 Runtime), because other applications might require them. An administrator who has ensured that there are no dependencies can follow the instructions in the following procedure to uninstall UCMA 5.0 Runtime.

To uninstall UCMA 5.0 Runtime and bootstrapper prerequisites installer

  1. Navigate to Programs and Features in Control Panel.

  2. On the right-click menu for the Unified Communications Managed API 5.0, Runtime entry, select Uninstall.

  3. A wizard titled "UCMA 5.0, Runtime Uninstallation" appears. Follow the instructions on the screen to complete uninstallation.

  4. On the right-click menu for the Skype for Business Server 2015,  Bootstrapper Prerequisites Installer Package entry, select Uninstall to remove the installer package.

Note

Uninstalling the Bootstrapper Prerequisites Installer Package does not automatically uninstall software components that are individually installed by the user, such as Skype for Business Server 2015 Core Components (OCSCore.msi) and others.
