Install and Uninstall Components (VI)

Restart Automatically restarts the system into install mode by default before the operation is performed, and restarts back to a running state after the operation is complete. If you choose not to restart automatically, the operation will fail if the system is not already in install mode.

Session in specifies the IP address or hostname of the system on which to perform this operation. When left blank, this VI operates on the local system.

Software Components to Install specifies software to install.

	title is the title of the software components. This input is optional.
	description is a short description of the software components. This input is optional.
	ID is the unique identifier for the software components. This input is required.
	version is the version of the software components. This is required when installing if you require a certain minimum or exact version as specified by the Version Selection input.
	component type is the type of the component. standard (0) Specifies the component is a standard visible software component. hidden (1) Specifies the component is a hidden software component. system (2) Specifies the component is a required system component. unknown (3) Specifies the component type is unknown. startup (4) Specifies the component is a startup application. image (5) Specifies the component is a user-defined system image. essential (6) Specifies the component is a required visible software component.

Software IDs to Uninstall specifies identifiers of software components to remove.

error in (no error) describes error conditions that occur before this node runs. This input provides standard error in functionality.

Install Options specifies options that affect which versions of components and whether additional components get installed.

	Version Selection specifies which versions to install. Highest (0) (default) specifies the version based on user input. If a version number is not specified, the highest installable version will be selected. If a version number is specified but is higher than any available software on the host, the installation will fail. Exactly (1) installs the exact specified version. If the specified version does not match the available software on the host the installation will fail.
	Auto-select Dependencies specifies whether to automatically select software components that are required by the software you have specified to install.
	Auto-select Recommends selects whether to automatically select recommended packages.

Session out returns the refnum for the system.

ID is the unique identifier for the software components. version is the version of the software components. component type is the component type. Components can be standard, hidden, system, unknown, startup, image, or essential.
