Can I launch my installation without running the prerequisite checker? How do I do that?

Yes, you can. For example, you can run the MSI of the managed system software, directly from SYSMGMT\srvadmin

important information that you would not know otherwise.

Upgrade may require a reboot if the files to be upgraded are in use. This is a typical Windows installer behavior. It is
recommended that you reboot the system when prompted.
