6.0 Known Issues with the PowerChute Business Edition Agent

    6.1 Issue: An Administrator level account is required to install
        the product.

        Solution: Log in as root and attempt to install the product
        again.

    6.2 Issue: Disabling active scripting in Internet Explorer means
        that the user cannot log in to PowerChute Business Edition
        Agent.

        Solution: Do not disable active scripting in Internet
        Explorer. If active scripting is disabled, enable it. For
        Internet Explorer 6.0, you enable active scripting as follows:
        (a) Select Internet Options on the Tools menu in Internet
            Explorer.
        (b) On the Security tab, open the list of custom level
            settings.
        (c) Under Scripting, near the end of the list, enable "Active
            scripting."

    6.3 Issue: An ActiveX control in the Login screen is marked as
        being unsafe while using Internet Explorer.

        Solution: Ensure that active scripting is enabled as described
        in item 6.2 above.

    6.4 Issue: A Security Alert appears when you attempt to log in to
        PowerChute Business Edition Agent while "launching programs
        and files in an IFRAME" is disabled in Internet Explorer.

        Solution: Ensure that "launching programs and files in an
        IFRAME" is enabled in Internet Explorer. For Internet Explorer
        6.0, you enable it as follows:
        (a) Select Internet Options on the Tools menu in Internet
            Explorer.
        (b) On the Security tab, open the list of custom level
            settings.
        (c) Under Miscellaneous, enable "launching programs and files
            in an IFRAME."

    6.5 Issue: The User Interface of the PowerChute Business Edition
        Agent becomes distorted when you enable "Ignore colors
        specified on Web Pages" in Internet Explorer.

        Solution: Disable "Ignore colors specified on Web pages."
        For Microsoft(R) Internet Explorer 6.0, you disable it as
        follows:
        (a) Select Internet Options on the Tools menu in Internet
            Explorer.
        (b) On the General tab, click "Accessibility..."
        (c) Unmark the checkbox for "Ignore colors specified
            on Web pages." 

    6.6 Issue: A Shell Script will not execute from within the
        PowerChute Business Edition Agent for Solaris.

        Solution: As the first line of the script, you must call the
        shell under which the script will run.

    6.7 Issue: As the method by which Internet Explorer Web browser
        checks for newer versions of stored pages, the PowerChute
        Business Edition Agent does not support the "Every visit to
        the page" option.

        Solution: Configure "Automatically" as the method for Internet
        Explorer to check for newer versions of stored pages. For
        Internet Explorer 6.0, you configure it as follows:
        (a) Select Internet Options on the Tools menu in Internet
            Explorer.
        (b) On the General tab, under "Temporary Internet files," click
            "Settings..."
        (c) Select "Automatically."

    6.8 Issue: JVM files remain if you cancel a Solaris or Linux(R)
        installation.

        Solution: Manually remove all the installed files when you
        cancel an installation on these operating systems.
