102 Installing Managed System Software on Windows Operating Systems
A warning message describes a condition that prevents a software product
from being installed during Typical installation. It is recommended that you
resolve the condition causing the warning before proceeding with the
installation of that software. If you decide to continue, you can select and
install the software using the Custom installation. For example, if an Intel
network interface card (NIC) is not detected on the system, you will see the
following message:
An Intel(R) NIC was not detected on this system.
This will disable the "Typical" installation of
the Intel(R) SNMP Agent.
Use the "Custom" installation setup type later
during installation to select this feature if you
have an Intel(R) NIC installed.
An error message describes a condition that prevents the software feature
from being installed. You must resolve the condition causing the error before
proceeding with the installation of the software feature. If you do not resolve
the issue, the software feature will not be installed.
You can run the prerequisite check silently by running
RunPreReqChecks.exe /s from the srvadmin\windows\PreReqChecker
directory. For further details see "Prerequisite Checker."
