Update installation under Windows systems

This section describes how you can update the proxy container and Management Console installation under Windows.

Before running an update installation you have to guarantee that the current common resources are installed. Proceed this like a new installation of common resources.

Only the dialog boxes that differ from those displayed during a new installation are described here. You work with all the other dialog boxes in the same way as for a new installation (see Installing BeanConnect under Windows systems).

You have to stop the proxy container before you start the update installation.

Start the installation (see .Installing BeanConnect under Windows systems) and choose Next in dialog box Welcome.
