Does systems management Install support Windows Advertised installation?

No. Systems management Install does not support Windows Advertised installation - the process of automatically
distributing a program to client computers for installation, through the Windows group policies.

How do I check the disk space availability during custom installation?

In the Custom Setup screen, you must click an active feature to view the hard drive space availability or to change the
installation directory. For example, if Feature A is selected for installation (active) and Feature B is not active, the
Change and Space buttons are disabled if you click Feature B. Click Feature A to view the space availability or to change
the installation directory.

What do I do when I see the current version is already installed message is displayed?

If you upgrade from version X to version Y using MSP and then try to use the version Y DVD (full install), the prerequisite
checker on the version Y DVD informs you that the current version is already installed. If you proceed, the installation
does not run in Maintenance mode and you do not get the option to Modify, Repair, or Remove. Proceeding with the
installation removes the MSP and creates a cache of the MSI file present in the version Y package. When you run it a
second time, the installer runs in Maintenance mode.

What is the best way to use the prerequisite checker information?

The prerequisite checker is available for Windows. See the readme file at SYSMGMT\srvadmin\windows
\PreReqChecker\readme.txt on the
using the prerequisite checker.
In the Prerequisite Checker screen, I get the following message. What can I do to resolve
this problem?
An error occurred while attempting to execute a Visual Basic Script. Please
confirm that Visual Basic files are installed correctly.
This error occurs when the prerequisite checker calls the systems management script, vbstest.vbs (a Visual Basic
script), to verify the installation environment, and the script fails. The possible causes are:
• Incorrect Internet Explorer Security Settings.
Ensure that Tools → Internet Options → Security → Custom level → Scripting → Active scripting is set to
Enable.
Ensure that Tools → Internet Options → Security → Custom level → Scripting → Scripting of Java applets
is set to Enable.
• Windows Scripting Host (WSH) has disabled the running of VBS scripts. WSH is installed during operating
system installation, by default. On Windows 2003, WSH can be configured to prevent the running of scripts with
a .VBS extension.
a. Right-click My Computer on the desktop and click Open → Tools → Folder Options → File Types .
b. Look for the VBS file extension and ensure that File Types is set to VBScript Script File.
