6. On a K2 Summit Production Client or K2 Solo Media Server, disable the write filter.
Disabling the write filter at this point keeps it disabled after the required restart. This is helpful
because it must be disabled in order to uninstall or install software, which you will be doing after
the restart.
7. Manage the required restart as follows:
•
Restart now.
Uninstall SNFS from K2 client
Do not do this task if:
•
The desired version of SNFS is already installed and the installation (including required restarts)
is complete.
Do this task if:
•
A SNFS version lower than 3.5.2.1b15620 is currently installed
If you have not already done so, disable the write filter on the K2 Summit Production Client or K2
Solo Media Server.
1. Make sure you are logged in with an administrator account.
2. Use the Windows
Add/Remove Programs
control panel and uninstall SNFS.
3. Disable the write filter.
Disabling the write filter at this point keeps it disabled after the required restart. This is helpful
because it must be disabled in order to install software, which you will be doing after the restart.
4. Restart using the Windows operating system restart procedure.

Prerequisites for this task are as follows:
•
If you uninstalled the previous version of K2 software, you must restart the K2 client at least
once before installing the new version of K2 software.
