This section describes the tasks to be performed before installing the Windows Server Assistant.

Ensure that there is sufficient disk space to install the Windows Server Assistant.

Refer to "3.1.6 Disk Space Required for Installation" for information on disk space requirements.

Using an editor, add the IP address and name of the server to be connected to the \System32\drivers\etc\hosts file in the folder where Windows is installed.

In [Start] menu, click [All apps], then [Fujitsu], and then [Uninstall (middleware)]. In the displayed window, check the installed products.

If the Windows Server Assistant is already installed, determine the installation method to use:

• Reinstallation

• Multi-version installation

The shortcuts displayed on the [Start] menu might be arranged differently depending on the operating system.

Use the following procedure to remove applied fixes.

If you install the product without removing the fix, you will apply the same version of the fix with the same fix number, resulting in an error that has already been applied. Remove the fix and then reinstall.

1. Display the applied updates

Execute the following command to display the applied updates:

C:\>uam showup

2. Remove the updates

Execute the command below to remove the updates. If an update with the same update number was applied more than once, the updates are removed in order, starting from the highest version number.

C:\>uam remove -i update-number

The Windows Installer service must be running.
