Error level 3 4 5 6 7 Meaning The installation was not attempted because of one of the following: • The version to be installed is older than the version already installed. • The supported hardware is not present, not enabled, or in a state that an installation could not be attempted. • The smart component does not support the environment. • There is nothing for the component to accomplish. If the component is installing to a remote target, such as Onboard Administrator or other network-based deployment, this return code indicates that the target cannot be found. The installation was canceled by a user before anything could be installed. The installer cannot execute because of an unmet dependency or installation tool failure. The actual installation operation (not the installation tool) failed. Creating HP Smart Update Manager input files The HP Smart Update Manager input file functionality enables network administrators to leverage this capability to script multiple targets or groups within a single operation.
