Upgrading the MSI Engine
Dell OpenManage software allows you to upgrade the MSI engine while
doing interactive installs. For silent installs, you have to add the appropriate
command to the install scripts.
Use the following command in your deployment script to upgrade the MSI
engine (if required) and to install/upgrade the systems management software.
NOTE: Dell OpenManage systems management and Management Station installers
require MSI 3.1 or later. Update the MSI engine if you are using a system running
Windows Server
®
2003 (without a Service Pack), Windows 2000 Server, or Windows
XP operating system. If you are using a system running Windows Server 2003 SP2 or

engine.
