DataGate WebPak 14.0
ASNA DataGate WebPak comprises several ASNA runtime components and libraries. It is used extensively by Monarch, ASNA Visual RPG, Wings, and Mobile RPG when deploying Web apps to IIS on a Microsoft Windows Web server.
When deploying any of these applications for production, the Windows Web server needs to have ASNA DataGate WebPak (WebPak) installed on it. WebPak is distributed as a packaged self-extracting zip file that when run it executes a setup wizard (Asna.Setup.exe). The wizard guides the user into installing a number of components. The WebPak installation package consists of the following component (MSIs):
| Component | Installed | Required? |

| ASNA Framework | asnafx.msi | Yes |
| ASNA Services | asnaservices.msi | Yes |
| AVR Compiler | avrcompiler.msi | Yes |
| AVR Compiler (64-bit) | avrcompiler64.msi | Yes |
| DataGate Print Controls | printcontrols.msi | Yes |
| DataGate Monitor | dgmonitor.msi | No |
| DataGate Monitor (64-bit) | dgmonitor64.msi | No |
| DataGate Server | dgserver.msi | No |
| DataGate Server (64-bit) | dgserver64.msi | No |
| DataGate Studio | dgstudio.msi | No |
