140 Installing Management Station Software
Management Station Requirements
Microsoft Software Installer (MSI) version 3.1 or later is required on your
system. Dell OpenManage software detects the MSI version on your system.
If the version is lower than 3.1, the Prerequisite Checker prompts you to
upgrade to MSI version 3.1.
When installing management station applications on systems running a
Windows operating system, you must select a disk drive that has space greater
than the required space. This ensures availability of additional space for the
temporary installation (not reflected in the Required Space) required by the
Windows Installer Service.
