Populating the agent depot during installation: Windows

The procedure to populate the agent depot from the Windows installation image differs based on the installation image (base IBM® Tivoli® Monitoring or application agent) that you are using. Use the procedure in this section that applies to the image you are using:

2. Click Modify on the Welcome window and select Next.
3. Click OK the warning message regarding existing components on this computer.
4. Click Next on the Add or Remove Features window without making any changes. (Do not clear any selected items because this removes them from the computer.)
