You can install the software in silent mode, which requires no user interaction as the software installs. For more information, see Install HxGN SDx in silent mode.

  • If you attempt to remove the product software while the Desktop Client, SDx Server Manager, or Windows Server Manager applications are open, the uninstallation wizard will prompt you that these applications must be closed to avoid the need for a system restart.
