Installing on Windows manually
This method is appropriate if your organization requires that software is installed on systems
manually. You can install the agent on the system, or distribute the FramePkg.exe installer for
users to run the installation program themselves. If you want users (who have local administrator
rights) to install the agent on their own systems, distribute the agent installation package file
to them. You can attach it to an email message, copy it to media, or save it to a shared network
folder.
After the agent is installed, it calls in to the server and adds the new system to the System
Tree.
