previously installed version before installing this new version.
You can also upgrade the previously installed version to version
4.3 first (if your version is 3.0 or higher), and then upgrade to
this version.
* If you are running virtual media on your DRAC controller over a
Wide Area Network (WAN) with low bandwidth and latency, launching
OpenManage Install directly on the virtual media may fail. In case
of failure, copy the Web install package (available on
support.dell.com) directly to your local system first and directly
launch Dell OpenManage Install from your local system.

USER NOTES FOR SUPPORTED Microsoft(R) WINDOWS(R) OPERATING SYSTEMS
======================================================================
* This version of Dell OpenManage systems management software requires
an MSI version of 3.0 or later on your system. If the version is
lower than 3.0, the Prerequisite Checker prompts you to upgrade to
MSI version 3.1.
* Starting with Dell OpenManage systems management software version
5.1, Dell OpenManage Array Manager is no longer supported on Dell.
Upgrading to Dell OpenManage systems management software version 5.1
will remove Array Manager from your system. Switch to using Storage
Management Service instead. Do not upgrade to Dell OpenManage
systems management software version 5.1 if you require Array
Manager.
* OpenManage 5.1 requires a minimum of Windows 2003 SP1 to be
installed on supported Windows 2003 Operating systems.
If you are using OpenManage 4.3, 4.4, or 4.5 on Windows 2003 you
must first apply Windows 2003 SP1 or higher before upgrading to
OpenManage 5.1. If your version of OpenManage is 4.2 or lower,
upgrade to OpenManage 4.3 first, then apply SP1, and then upgrade to
OpenManage 5.1. Alternately, if you do not wish to retain OpenManage
settings, you can uninstall OpenManage, apply the Windows service
pack, and then install OM5.1.
* In the Prerequisite Checker screen, you may get the following
message, "An error occurred while attempting to execute a Visual
Basic Script. Please confirm that Visual Basic files are installed
correctly." This error occurs when the Prerequisite Checker calls
the Dell OpenManage "vbstest.vbs" (a Visual Basic [VB]) script to
verify the installation environment and fails for some reason.
The possible causes are:
1. Incorrect Internet Explorer "Security" settings.
Ensure that "Active Scripting" is enabled by clicking "Tools" ->
"Internet Options" -> "Security" -> "Custom Level" ->
"Scripting" -> "Active Scripting" -> "Enable"
