System Manager Upgrades

The two key command-line parameters for upgrading are REINSTALL and

REINSTALLMODE.

The recommended command-line for upgrading minor versions of System

Manager is:

msiexec.exe /i dcpsysmgr.msi REINSTALL=ALL

REINSTALLMODE=vomus

Refer to the Microsoft Developer Network (MSDN) at

http://msdn.microsoft.com/ for complete documentation of all MSI command-

line options.

Specify Customized System Manager Options

Several popular System Manager program options are stored in the text file

DCPSysMgrCfg.xml. This file is formatted as XML and can be customized by

Administrators so that System Manager can be deployed with a given set of

options. This file is stored in the System Manager installation directory—for

example, C:\Program Files\Dell\Dell ControlPoint\System Manager.

To specify that the System Manager installer copy a customized settings file to

the installation directory, use the command-line parameter:

USEMYXML=1

For example: msiexec.exe /i dcpsysmgr.msi /qn USEMYXML=1

NOTE: The customized DCPSysMgrCfg.xml must be in the same directory as the

dcpsysmgr.msi file.
