7.2.8 Installation Method page

(1) Installation mode

For the installation mode, select GUI installation mode or Background installation mode.

If you select Hitachi program products or Other companies' software for Package type, GUI installation mode is always selected.

GUI installation mode

This installation mode uses a particular installer (such as an interactive installer). Use this mode if the installer uses a Graphics Device Interface (GDI) as an API, even though it does not have a GUI.

If you use the GUI installation mode to perform remote installation of software that requires user intervention on the screen, disable password protection on the installation target PC before installation. If the installation target PC is password-protected (for example, a dialog box is displayed asking you to simultaneously press the Ctrl+Alt+Delete key), installation of the software is not possible because you cannot interact with the screen. However, if you perform remote installation of a Hitachi program product that supports remote installation, such software does not require user intervention and can be installed even if the PC is password-protected.

Background installation mode

This installation mode does not use a particular installer. Use this mode to install files simply by copying them. Remote installation can be performed only if Windows is running, even if the user who installed JP1/IT Desktop Management 2 - Agent is not currently logged on.
