======================================================================
USER NOTES FOR ALL SUPPORTED WINDOWS OPERATING SYSTEMS
======================================================================
* This version of Dell OpenManage systems management software requires
an MSI version of 3.1 or later on your system. If the version is
lower than 3.1, the Prerequisite Checker prompts you to upgrade to
MSI version 3.1.
* On systems supporting Windows operating systems, you can only
upgrade features that are already installed. You can add features
from "Add/Remove Programs" after applying the upgrade.
* If you burn your CD from "Dell Systems Management Tools and
Documentation" DVD, the MEDIAPACKAGEPATH should be set to
"SYSMGMT\ManagementStation\windows\ManagementStation". You must
ensure that the CD layout remains the same when burning your own
CD. The "MgmtSt.msi" file must reside in the
"\srvadmin\windows\ManagementStation" directory or
"SYSMGMT\srvadmin\windows\ManagementStation" on the CD.
For detailed information, go to the Microsoft website:
"http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/
msi/setup/mediapackagepath.asp"
* When launching the MSI installation packages from the Windows
Explorer, all MSI output will be logged in log files
that are stored at "%TEMP%". The file is called "MgmtSt.log"
in case of management station install.
* During installation/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 that are taken into consideration.
* After an "Unattended Installation" completes, a new console window
must be opened. The CLI commands must be executed from that
window. It is not possible to execute CLI commands from the same
console window in which Management Station was installed.
* In the prerequisite checker screen, you may get the 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 invokes 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"
