MBAM Overview – What you need to know. There will be four main sections and will cover all of the components here.

Section 1 – Microsoft Desktop Optimization Pack, this can be downloaded from MSDN or Volume Licensing section and other components required.

In order to support the newer AES XTS ciphers in Windows 10 and SQL 2017 though you will also need to download the July 2018 service release (https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4340040/july-2018-servicing-release-for-microsoft-desktop-optimization-pack). You will also need to download the ASP.NET MVC 4 as a pre-requisite, this can be downloaded from https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=30683.
