[. . . ] This may happen if an affected host is not currently connected to the network, or if the active installation operation requires a user to restart his host before the installation is completed. If the hosts are connected to the network and they send and receive policy files correctly, then there could be a real problem. The host may not be correctly acknowledging the installation operation. In any case, it is possible to remove the installation operation from the policy by clicking Stop All. This will cancel the installation operations defined for the selected policy domain or host. It is possible to stop all installation tasks in the selected domain and all subdomains by selecting the Recursively cancel installation for subdomains and hosts option in the confirmation dialog. 116 The Stop All button is enabled only if the current host or domain has an installation operation defined. Any subdomain operations do not affect the button state. Stop All only removes the operation from the policy. If a host has already polled the previous policy file, it may try to carry out the installation operation even though it is no longer visible in the Installation Editor. Remote Uninstallation Uninstallation can be performed as easily as an update. A distribution package is created that contains only the software needed to uninstall the product. If the product does not support remote uninstallation, the Installation Editor does not display an option for uninstallation. Choosing Reinstall will reinstall the current version. This option should only be used for troubleshooting. Most of the time, there is no reason to reinstall a product. 5. 4. 3 Local Installation and Updates with Pre-Configured Packages You can export pre-configured packages in JAR or in MSI (Microsoft Installer) format.
