newer version of Server Administrator that supports the
specified Windows component (if a newer version is available),
or remove the specified component before installing Server
Administrator. To remove an optional component of Windows,
use the "Add/Remove Windows Components" wizard. You can
access this wizard by selecting "Add or Remove Programs"
from the "Control Panel," and then selecting
"Add/Remove Windows Components."
* On Windows operating systems, an upgrade applies only to features
that are already installed. If you want to add features, you can
do so from "Add or Remove Programs" after applying the upgrade.
* To perform CLI upgrade on Windows operating systems, enter these
properties on the command line:
"REINSTALL=ALL and REINSTALLMODE=vomus"
For example, to upgrade your systems management software:
"msiexec /i SysMgmt.msi REINSTALL=ALL REINSTALLMODE=vomus"
* If you burn your own CD, be aware of the following requirement:
MSI requires all installers to specify the "MEDIAPACKAGEPATH"
property if the MSI file does not reside on the root of the CD.
This property is set to "\srvadmin\windows\SystemsManagement" for
the Server Administrator MSI package. You must ensure that the CD
layout remains the same when burning your own CD. The
"SysMgmt.msi" file must reside under the folder
"\srvadmin\windows\SystemsManagement" on the CD.
For detailed information, go to the Microsoft website:

* MSI reference counting takes effect if you install the Intel(R)
SNMP agent using the MSI provided by Intel, and then install the
Intel SNMP agent again using Dell OpenManage Install. The Intel
SNMP agent is not removed during installation of either MSI;
you must remove both installers from the system to remove the
agent.
* When launching the MSI installation packages from your Windows
Explorer, all MSI output will be logged into the file,
"SysMgmt.log." It is stored at "%TEMP%."
* During installation/removal, 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.
* A new console window must be opened and CLI commands executed from
