Detailed information has not been added for this feature.
Microsoft Agent is a stand-alone component. The function of Microsoft Agent does not rely on any other XPlite Professional components and removing other components in XPlite Professional should not influence Microsoft Agent.
Microsoft Agent is not required by other system components in XPlite Professional. You can safely uninstall Microsoft Agent without compromising other XPlite Professional components. BUT PLEASE NOTE: You may have other software installed that does require Microsoft Agent. If you encounter any compatibility issues with other software you can quickly and easily reinstall Microsoft Agent using XPlite Professional.
XPlite Professional can completely uninstall Microsoft Agent and reinstall to repair Microsoft Agent on:
- Windows XP Professional: orig, SP1, SP2
- Windows XP Home: orig, SP1, SP2
- Windows 2000 Professional: orig, SP1, SP2, SP3, SP4
- Windows 2003 Server: orig, SP1, SP2(coming!)
