● WSH is the wrong version, corrupted, or not installed. WSH is installed during operating system installation, by default.
Download WSH from msdn.microsoft.com.
Is the time shown during installation or uninstallation by Windows Installer
Services accurate?
No. During installation or uninstallation, the Windows Installer Service may display the time remaining for the current task to
complete. This is only an approximation by the Windows Installer Engine based on varying factors.
Can I launch my installation without running the prerequisite checker?
How do I do that?
Yes, you can. For example, you can run the MSI of the managed system software, directly from
SYSMGMT\srvadmin\Windows\SystemsManagement. In general, it is not a good idea to bypass the prerequisite checker
as there could be important information that you would not know otherwise.
How do I know what version of systems management software is installed
on the system?
Navigate to the Windows Control Panel and double-click Add/Remove Programs and select systems management
software. Select the link for support information.
Do I need to reboot the system after upgrading systems management ?
Upgrade may require a reboot if the files to be upgraded are in use. This is a typical Windows installer behavior. It is
recommended that you reboot the system when prompted.
Where can I see the Server Administrator features that are currently
installed on my system?
Navigate to the Windows Control Panel and double-click Add/Remove Programs to view the Server Administrator features
that are currently installed.
