Also, you must upgrade SNFS with this release, so deploy the following tasks
at the same time:

Action

Managed Package

Deploy

Uninstall

SNFS nonK2 x86  xxxxxx

Install

SNFS nonK2 x86  xxxxxx

Uninstall

SNFS nonK2 x64  xxxxxx

Install

SNFS nonK2 x64  xxxxxx

When using SiteConfig for upgrades, the SNFS upgrade is required even if you
are already at version 3.5.2.1b15620. The upgrade resets SNFS version
information for SiteConfig.

NOTE:  If there are dependencies, SiteConfig can enforce that some tasks be
deployed together.

4. Check the area next to the Start Deployment button for a message.

If a message instructs you to upgrade the Discovery Agent, on the control point
PC go to the directory to which SiteConfig is installed, find the

DiscoveryAgent_x.x.x.x.cab

 file, add it to the deployment group, and deploy

the Discovery Agent software as well.

5. Click the 

Start Deployment

 button.

Deployment tasks run and software is uninstalled. Progress is reported and next
steps are indicated in both the Status and Details columns. If an error appears
regarding prerequisite software, install the prerequisite files on the control point
PC and then repeat this step.
