Remove
The Remove option lets you uninstall a selected plug-in. First select the plug-in(s) that you
want to uninstall from the list. Click
Remove
. This removes the selected plug-in(s) from the
server and the client. The uninstall script on both the server and the client then determines if
a restart is needed.
•
Install New
When you click
Install New
, a dialog box appears that lets you select a plug-in from the
directory to be installed on the server. Once a plug-in file has been selected, a confirmation
screen appears containing more specific information about the plug-in(s) that you have
selected, and provides you with the option to proceed with installation.
•
If you select a plug-in of which an earlier version has already been installed, you have the
option to upgrade the existing plug-in.
•
If the selected plug-in has previously been installed, you will be informed that the plug-in
is already installed.
•
If the selected plug-in is down-level from the one that is currently installed, the current
plug-in will need to uninstalled before the down-level version can be installed.
The successful installation of a plug-in is then announced to all clients connected to the
server through the MVP message window located at the bottom of the MVP Home screen.
After a plug-in has been installed on the server, the MVP Client receives information on the plug-in
versions that have been installed and details on which plug-ins contain downloadable client
components. If new client components are available, the client determines if the server and itself are
compatible and then automatically downloads the client component of any plug-ins that it does not
already have.
Note:
If the client and server are not compatible because the client contains a component
that the server does not have, a warning message is issued and any incompatible
client components are removed.
