How do I install tools and utilities after installing my product?

Page 74 highlights

How do I install tools and utilities after installing my product? Run the installer again from the original media, and click Install Tools & Utilities on the first screen. The installer guides you through the process of selection, configuration and installation of tools and utilities. When should I reinstall the product instead of repairing it? Reinstall your product if you accidentally delete or alter files that are required by the program. Missing or altered files adversely affect the performance of your product and cause error messages when you try to execute a command or find a file. If an attempt to repair an installation fails, reinstalling is the next best option. Do I need the original media to reinstall my product? Yes. When reinstalling a product, you are prompted to load the original media. If the product was installed from a network deployment, you need access to the original deployment, unaltered by later changes such as the addition of a service pack. When I uninstall my software, what files are left on my system? If you uninstall the product, some files remain on your computer such as files you created or edited (for example, drawings or custom menus). Your license file also stays on your computer when you uninstall your product. If you reinstall on the same computer, the license information remains valid; you do not have to reactivate the product. 68 | Chapter 3 Network Administration Guide
