The HP VCA installation executable is located in the following locations:

• A repository managed by the HP VCRM that contains the latest Windows ProLiant and Integrity
Support Packs.
Installing the HP VCA for Windows
The HP VCA installation wizard launches in interactive mode when the installation executable is
run from the command line or launched from Windows Explorer.
After the wizard initiates, the HP Setup dialog box appears.
If a previous version of the HP VCA is installed, the HP VCA upgrade is initiated. The HP Setup
dialog box appears and indicates the software is installed but not current. Click Install to upgrade.
If a current version of the HP VCA is installed, the HP VCA reinstall is initiated. The HP Setup dialog
box appears and indicates the software is installed and current. Click Install to reinstall over the
currently installed software.
If you have a newer version of the HP VCA installed, and you want to downgrade, uninstall the
current HP VCA, reboot the machine, and run the new installation.
Click Install. If this is the initial installation, the HP VCA Configuration dialog box appears.
Configuring the HP VCA
The HP VCA Configuration wizard appears during the initial installation of the HP VCA, and
enables you to configure the HP VCRM, which provides a reference point for available HP software.
Caution: Enter the account and provide the appropriate password for the HP VCA to download
software from the HP VCRM. Enter at least a user-level account and provide the appropriate
password for the HP VCA to provide software status by comparing the inventory with what is
available at the HP VCRM. However, user-level account access does not allow the HP VCA to
download and install software.
