Verify the Extensions

Verify that the EM folder contains set of required extensions depending on the subsystems at the customer plant.

An extension allows you to install an additional subsystem on the top of the management station.

The EM folder contains extension modules folders, each with their Languages, Prerequisites, PostInstallation (optional), and ProjTemplates folders (optional), setup file, and EULA, if present.

A mandatory extension is always installed and is not available for selection/deselection during installation. Moreover, its parent extension (mandatory or non-mandatory) is not displayed for selection/deselection and gets installed.

For Semi-automatic and Silent installation, you must specify the extensions that you want to have installed in the GMS Platform.xml file located at ..\InstallerDVD\InstallFiles\Instructions.

To add the extension from other location than the distribution media, you need to configure the path of these extensions in the attribute [ExternalEMsPath] and the EM name must be added in the section [EMs] of the GMS Platform.xml file. Make sure that the parent extensions of the external extensions to be added are either available in the distribution media or at the path provided in the attribute [ExternalEMsPath] of the GMS Platform.xml file. Otherwise, the Installer skips installation of externally added extension if the parent extension of externally added extension is not available/is inconsistent.

The PostInstallation folder, if present, contains the post-installation steps specific to the extension. Ensure that the post-installation steps are valid and enabled (modified the extension from .txt to .xml).

The Installer always installs the extensions according to the brand and the Setup type.
