components is optional.
The following table summarizes components and features that can be installed or updated in the

Preparation
To create a transform for a component, you need the configuration script mst_gen.vbs.
This script is located in the folder where Acronis Backup & Recovery 11.5 Management Console is
installed. The default folder path is:
 %ProgramFiles%\Acronis\BackupAndRecoveryConsole in 32-bit Windows
 %ProgramFiles(x86)%\Acronis\BackupAndRecoveryConsole in 64-bit Windows
Order of installation
First, install the management console. When you install the agent, first install the Agent Core
component, then the agent itself, and then (optionally) the Universal Restore feature.
