Updating NT Applications
The key to upgrading NT Applications is to make sure the upgrade is
performed on the proper machine.
All array applications run on the
CE operating system.
Generally, applications are upgraded using a
CDROM.
Since the CE does not have it's own CDROM, a
redirected CDROM must be used.
An alternative to this method is to
use a Network Shared CDROM.
