Job Management Partner 1/Software Distribution Administrator Kit Description and Operator's Guide
Specify whether or not to permit overwrite installation to be performed on a machine where JP1/Software Distribution Client has already been installed.
You can create an installation set to inherit the settings of existing JP1/Software Distribution Client or apply new setup information. You can also use the Overwrite Installation page to specify whether to enable the processing specified in the pages in the Create or Edit Installation Set dialog box during overwrite installation.
The following describes the notes on overwrite installation.
- Before starting overwrite installation, back up the following registries:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HITACHI\NETM/DM/P
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HITACHI\JP1/RemoteControlAgent
- Installation sets created in JP1/Software Distribution Administrator Kit 07-00 or earlier do not support overwrite installation. To set overwrite installation, you must edit the installation set. For details about how to edit an installation set, see 3.2.3 Editing an installation set.
- During overwrite installation, the existing installation components that match the installation components specified in the installation set are overwritten. The system installs installation components specified in the installation set which have not been installed.
- Note the following if JP1/Software Distribution Client has already been installed on the PC before automatic installation:
- JP1/Software Distribution will be installed in the existing installation directory. This folder cannot be changed.
For details about specifying the installation directory for JP1/Software Distribution Client, see 3.3.12(2)(a) Specifying the installation directory.
- The existing program folder containing the JP1/Software Distribution icon is inherited. This program folder cannot be changed. If this program folder has not been created, no new folder can be created.
For details about specifying the program folder, see 3.3.12(2)(b) Specifying the program folder.
- The existing installation work directory and the existing backup directory to be used for restoration if installation fails are inherited. These directories cannot be changed.
For details about specifying work directories, see 3.3.12(3)(c) Specifying work directories.
- Note the following when you select a subcomponent for specifying the setup information of a client:
- If a subcomponent you select in the Select Subcomponents dialog box is already installed, the subcomponent will be overwritten. If a subcomponent has not been installed, it will be installed.
- When a subcomponent that you have not selected in the Select Subcomponents dialog box is already installed, that subcomponent will be uninstalled if the JP1/Software Distribution Administrator Kit version is 07-00 or later. If the version is 06-71 or earlier, the subcomponent will remain installed.
- If the check boxes for the Package Setup Manager and Additional facilities subcomponents are cleared in the Select Subcomponents dialog box when JP1/Software Distribution Administrator Kit is upgraded from version 05-12 or earlier, these two subcomponents will remain.
For details about selecting subcomponents, see 3.3.12(3)(a) Selecting subcomponents.
