Installation steps:

NOTE: This deliverable only applies to Windows 2008 Server Core x64-bit systems.
     In addition, this deliverable contains all of the 6.5.6 fixes for the
     NetBackup client for this platform.  After you have completed this
    installation there is no need to install any other 6.5.6 deliverable.

1) Run Setup.exe (Double-click on the icon from File Manager or Explorer or run
  it from the command prompt)

  Setup.exe begins by stopping the appropriate NetBackup Services required for
  this installation. Next, it will install the necessary files  
  into their correct locations. Lastly, Setup.exe will restart the appropriate  
  NetBackup services.

2) Examine the install log located under the user profile that completed the
  install.  The following is an example of the user administrator that
  completed the install.  This path may be hidden and you may need to unhide
  hidden or system files to view the log.

  %TEMP%\<NetBackup Install.log>

  Search the install log for the following string to determine if an error has
  occurred. "Return Value 3".

  NOTE: If you are installing this deliverable using the silent install
        script, please review the <TEMP>.Log after the installation is
        finished, a reboot maybe required to complete the installation.
        A search of the log for the key words "in use" will indicate which
        files were busy during the installation.





===========================
III. UNINSTALL INSTRUCTIONS
===========================

1) Make sure the NetBackup client has no active backups, restores, etc.,
  running.

  If a database client is being used, such as Oracle, ensure that the
  database services are stopped.  Database services can be stopped via the
  Control Panel -> Services tool.  Repeat this until all databases have been
  stopped. These services must be restarted once the patch is successfully
  uninstalled.

2) Use the "silentuninstall.cmd" script to remove the NetBackup client from
  the system.  This script resides in the temporary directory where the
  package was downloaded to during the install.
