Compatibility with Full Software Solution This section describes the behavior of the software that is deployed in enterprises when an end user also has a full software CD from one of the printers. This software solution for enterprises is simply a configuration of the full software, so the software installer behaves as if the enterprise software is the same as the normal software solution, specifically, if either is already installed, the software will believe that the software is already installed. The sections that follow list some specific scenarios and what the behavior will be. Installing Enterprise First 1. Install Enterprise v2.0 2. Run Software CD v2.0 or earlier (v1.0) The software CD will tell the user that the software is already installed. Any other MSI packages that are not yet installed (Help, Customer Experience Program, MS Toolbar) will be offered to the user. Upgrading to Full Solution 1. Install Enterprise v2.0 2. Run Software CD v3.0 The software CD will allow the user to upgrade the solution and will install the full software solution. Installing Full Solution First 1. Install full Software from CD v2.0 2. Run Enterprise install v2.0 (assume simply running msiexec /i ) The Enterprise install will return success and will not change what was installed (the full solution will remain installed). Attempting to Install Older Enterprise Release 1. Install full Software from CD v2.0 2. Run Enterprise install v1.0 (assume simply running msiexec /i ) The Enterprise install will fail because a newer version of the software is already installed. Upgrading to Enterprise Solution 1. Install full Software from CD v2.0 2. Run Enterprise install v3.0 (assume simply running msiexec /i ) The Enterprise install will successfully upgrade the software and will remove the full solution and install only what is configured for the enterprise install.
