If a newer software version is included on the image the “Install” checkbox will be automatically
set. It is recommended to update all software to ensure compatibility between the different
programs. In case a custom installation is desired the “Configure installation” checkbox can be
unchecked to choose a different installation configuration. It might happen that a checkbox is
set by default and cannot be unchecked, in this case the update or installation is mandatory.

In some cases, already installed software must be uninstalled because it is discontinued and
will cause compatibility issues. In this case the software to be removed is shown under the
“Remove” section.

A click on the “Start” button starts the installation process and installs all the selected software.
Some setups need user interactions. For questions about specific setups refer to the Release
Notes of the Software Package or the specific Release Notes of the installer. The Release
Notes can be found in the mounted drive or on the Announcement Page.

1.3 Troubleshooting
Setup requests a restart
For the complete installation of the software package, some of the software installations or
drivers need a Windows reboot before working properly. To ensure a smooth installation almost
all reboots from individual components are suppressed and postponed to the end of the
installation, but at some points in the installation process it is not possible to postpone the
reboot. In these cases, the suggested reboot must be performed, and the installation of the
remainder of the package must be continued afterwards.
