Installing Management Station Software 73
The Prerequisite Checker displays three types of messages: informational,
warning, and error messages.
• An informational message describes a condition, but does not prevent a
feature from being installed.
• A warning message describes a condition that prevents a software feature
from being installed during
Typical installation. It is recommended that
you resolve the condition causing the warning before proceeding with the
installation of the software. If you decide to continue, you can select and
install the software using the
Custom installation.
• 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 that software feature. If you do
not resolve the issue, the software feature will not be installed.
Execute the command RunPreReqChecks.exe /s if you want to run
the prerequisite check in silent mode. For more information see "Prerequisite
Checker."
