To extract the MSI files and prerequisites from the Professional 10 .EXE: 
  1. Create a folder on your computer. This folder will be used in later steps to store the extracted files. 
  2. Download the executable for Professional, Compare or Protect. Find out how: Download, install and license Workshare Professional
  3. Put the executable into the folder you created.
  4. Open the MS-DOS command prompt (Start>run>cmd) and navigate to the folder you created.
  5. Run the layout command on your bundle: Workshare.Professional.Bundle.exe /layout
If you're using Compare, Protect or the 64-bit version of Professional, substitute Workshare.Professional.Bundle.exe with the name of your executable. Names of the executables can be found in the table below.

Note: If you're prompted to install the .NET 3.5 framework after running the layout command, restart your computer and run the layout command again.
