Upgrading the Network Shell on Windows

This topic provides instructions for upgrading an installation of the Network Shell on Microsoft Windows.

If you installed the Network Shell as part of a Application Server or TrueSight Server Automation Console installation, upgrading that installation automatically upgrades the Network Shell.

You can also use silent mode to upgrade a Network Shell installation. For information, see Using-silent-mode-to-upgrade-the-Network-Shell-Windows.

Before you begin

To perform this installation, you must have local Administrator privileges.

Ensure that Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 Redistributable Update 3 is installed on the server. For more information, see Installing-the-RSCD-agent-Windows.

To upgrade the Network Shell

1. Navigate to the directory that contains the installation files for the Network Shell and run the installation program. The Installation program names follow the convention: NSH<version>-<platform>.
   
   

   Important

   Starting from version 21.3, only 64-bit installer is available for Network Shell. During upgrade to 21.3 or later, the installation directory remains the same when using 64-bit installer. For example, if Network Shell (32-bit) was installed in the C:\Program Files (x86) directory, NSH is upgraded in the same directory.

2. At the Setup Type window, select Upgrade and then click Next.
3. To complete the upgrade to your installation, click Finish.
