Installation manual

18 Preinstallation Setup
You can run the prerequisite checker silently by executing
runprereqchecks.exe /s from the
SYSMGMT\srvadmin\windows\PreReqChecker directory on the Dell
Systems Management Tools and Documentation DVD.
After running the prerequisite checker, a HTML file (omprereq.htm) is
created in the %Temp% directory. This file contains the results of the
prerequisite check. The Temp directory is located at X:\Documents and
Settings\username\Local Settings\Temp. To find %TEMP%, go to a
command line prompt and type echo %TEMP%.
The results are written under the following key for a managed system:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Dell Computer
Corporation\OpenManage \PreReqChecks\MN\
While running the prerequisite checker silently, the return code from
runprereqchecks.exe is the number associated with the highest severity
condition for all the software products. The return code numbers are the same
as those used in the registry. Table 2-1 details the return codes.
