When I run systems management Install, I see unreadable characters on
the Prerequisite check information screen.
When you run systems management Install in English, German, French, or Spanish and get unreadable characters on the
Prerequisite Check Information screen, ensure that the browser encoding has the default character set. Resetting the
browser encoding to use the default character set resolves the problem.
Where can I find the MSI log files?
By default, the MSI log files are stored in the path defined by the %TEMP% environment variable.
I downloaded the Server Administrator files for Windows from the Support
website and copied it to my own media. When I tried to launch the
SysMgmtx64.msi file, it failed. What is wrong?
MSI requires all installers to specify the MEDIAPACKAGEPATH property if the MSI file does not reside on the root of the DVD.
This property is set to srvadmin\windows\SystemsManagement for the managed system software MSI package. If you
want to make the own DVD you must ensure that the DVD layout stays the same. The SysMgmtx64.msi file must be
located in the srvadmin\windows\SystemsManagementx64. For more detailed information, go to msdn.microsoft.com
and search for
MEDIAPACKAGEPATH Property
Does systems management Install support Windows Advertised
installation?
No. Systems management Install does not support Windows Advertised installation - the process of automatically distributing a
program to client computers for installation, through the Windows group policies.
How do I check the disk space availability during custom installation?
In the Custom Setup screen, you must click an active feature to view the hard drive space availability or to change the
installation directory. For example, if Feature A is selected for installation (active) and Feature B is not active, the Change and
Space buttons are disabled if you click Feature B. Click Feature A to view the space availability or to change the installation
directory.
What do I do when I see the current version is already installed message is
displayed?
If you upgrade from version X to version Y using MSP and then try to use the version Y DVD (full install), the prerequisite
checker on the version Y DVD informs you that the current version is already installed. If you proceed, the installation does
not run in Maintenance mode and you do not get the option to Modify, Repair, or Remove. Proceeding with the installation
removes the MSP and creates a cache of the MSI file present in the version Y package. When you run it a second time, the
installer runs in Maintenance mode.
What is the best way to use the prerequisite checker information?
The prerequisite checker is available for Windows. See the readme file at
srvadmin\windows\PreReqChecker\README.txt on the Dell EMC Systems Management Tools and Documentation
software, for detailed information about using the prerequisite checker.
