USER NOTES FOR ALL SUPPORTED WINDOWS OPERATING SYSTEMS

=======================================================================

* 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.

* 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"

-> "Scripting" -> "Active Scripting" -> "Enable"

Ensure that "Scripting of Java Applets" is enabled by

clicking "Tools" -> "Internet Options" -> "Security" ->

"Custom Level" -> "Scripting" -> "Scripting of Java Applets" ->

"Enable"

2. Windows Scripting Host (WSH) has disabled the running of VB

scripts.

By default, WSH is installed during the operating system

installation. WSH can be configured to prevent scripts

with a ".VBS" extension from being run. On the Desktop,
