Prerequisite Checker for Windows
The setup.exe prerequisite checker program, located in the Windows directory on the Dell Installation
and Server Management CD, provides the capability of examining the prerequisite status for software
components without launching the actual installation. This program displays a status window that
provides information about the system hardware that some software components may require for
operation.
The Prerequisite Check can be executed silently using runprereqcheck.exe /s.
