page 11 for details.

instructions in this chapter to upgrade each FactoryTalk AssetCentre agent. Instructions
particular to upgrading are provided on the screen. Components that are already installed
will be skipped. (Once you start the installation, depending on how many components are
already installed, it may skip directly to step 20 on page 59.)
