It is recommended that you select Upgrade Installer Engine on target
node (if required)
. This option ensures that the latest version of msiexec is
installed on the managed systems.
If you do not select this option, and the managed systems do not have the
required version, and an error message is displayed.
NOTE: This option fails if the required upgrade engine files (.exe and .bat) are
not found in the same folder as the Systems Management installer (.msi). If
you deleted these files, go to ftp.dell.com and download them to the
SystemsManagement folder.
