Until an updated package is available use the following workaround: o Use the existing Software Distribution directions, but only when upgrading existing 3.1 or 3.1.1 Director Agent machines to 4.1 o This method will allow the install to complete normally. Because of limitations of the local system account not all old drivers will be properly removed from the Device Manager. If after you upgrade your agent there are undefined devices they can be ignored or deleted. This issue will be resolved in a future release of the software package. 4.0 CORRECTIONS TO THE PUBLICATION Software Distribution The directions provided in the IBM Director 4.1: Upward Integration Modules Installation Guide are still applicable with the following exceptions.
