Run the Web Agent Option Pack Installer

The Web Agent Option Pack can be installed as a stand-alone product. The installer will try to find an installed Web Agent, but it it cannot, it prompts you to continue or cancel. If you continue, the installer prompts you for an installation path and installs the Option Pack in the location that you specify.

Install the Web Agent Option Pack using using the method for your platform:

• Windows systems: install in GUI mode.

  Important! If you are installing the Web Agent Option Pack on a Windows system immediately after installing the Web Agent, reboot your machine first.
