Running the Avalanche Installer

The Avalanche installer is designed to include all components of the service, including the Web Console, device servers, certificate manager, and Remote Control server. This installer allows you to create all services on the same computer through one installation process. If you want to install the device servers on separate computers, see Installing Device Servers.

Avalanche installs its own JRE and changes the JRE_HOME system variable. If you have a JRE already installed, it is not affected by Avalanche. However, any program using the JRE_HOME variable will be redirected to use the Avalanche JRE.

The Web Console can be installed individually through the Select Components screen of the installer by clearing Mobile Device Server, Smart Device Server, and then Enterprise Server.

Do not perform a new install of Avalanche 6.1 on the same machine as any previous versions of Avalanche. This will result in system errors that prevent the existing installation from working correctly. Additionally, do not install Avalanche on any machines currently running LANDESK Management Suite or Mobility Manager as this will prevent integration between applications.
