Before you install components, you can compare the versions of AppManager modules in the installation folder with the versions available for download from the NetIQ website. If you maintain the installation files on a shared drive, the utility compares the installation packages on the shared drive to the versions available for download. This allows you to keep the installation folder current so that the latest module installation packages are available for subsequent installations.
To check for updates to module installation packages:
From the location where you saved the AppManager installation files, run Setup.exe.
In the left pane, click Check for Updates.
In the right pane, click Check your version of AppManager modules.
If later versions of module installation packages are available from the NetIQ website, the Check for Updates utility generates a report that lists the versions in the installation folder and the versions available for download. You can click the links provided in the report to download the module installation packages.
If the module installation packages in the installation folder are current, the Check for Updates utility displays the following message:
You have the current versions of AppManager modules. To install the current versions, use the AppManager setup program or use Control Center to install modules on remote computers.
