Installing Managed System Software on Microsoft Windows Operating Systems 99
install the software using the Custom installation. For example, if an Intel
network interface card (NIC) is not detected on the system, you will see the
following message:
An Intel(R) NIC was not detected on this system.
This will disable the "Typical" installation of
the Intel(R) SNMP Agent.
Use the "Custom" installation setup type later
during installation to select this feature if you
have an Intel(R) NIC installed.
An error message describes a condition that prevents the software feature
from being installed. You must resolve the condition causing the error before
proceeding with the installation of the software feature. If you do not resolve
the issue, the software feature will not be installed.
You can run the prerequisite check silently by running
RunPreReqChecks.exe /s from the
\SYSMGMT\srvadmin\windows\PreReqChecker directory. For further
details see "Prerequisite Checker."
