Installing Universal Agent 7.

...

5.x via the Windows Installer Graphical Interface

Step 1

Download the appropriate Universal Agent 7.45.x for Windows product distribution file to your work station:
 
System Install

  • sb-7.45.x.-windows-x64.exe, the Universal Agent for Windows System Install distribution file (for supported 64-bit versions of Windows only).

User Mode Install

  • sb-7.2.MOD.LEVEL-windows-x64-um.exe, the Universal Agent for Windows User Mode Install distribution file (for supported 64-bit versions of Windows only).

Step 2

Execute the distribution file to extract the files. The installation starts after the files are extracted. It first will verify that your machine meets the minimum system requirements. If the requirements are met, a Welcome dialog displays.

Step 3

Click the <Next> button. A list of Universal Agent components included in the package then displays. A drive icon displays next to each item in the list, indicating that the component will be installed. The Install To: field identifies the location where the components will be installed.

  • If you want to select a different location, click the <Change...> button.
  • If you want to check the amount of disk space required for the installation, and the amount of available disk space on the selected directory, click the <Space> button.
  • If you do not want to install a component:
    1. Click the drive icon next to that component name.
    2. From the drop-down list that displays, select the X icon to mark the component as one not to be installed.

Step 4

When you have selected the components (and their installation destinations) that you want to install, click the <Next> button to continue the installation process. Depending on the components selected, the installation may prompt for additional values, such as working folders for Server components. Follow the directions provided with each dialog to complete the installation.
