Note Uninstalling CSA MC does not uninstall the Microsoft SQL Server
Desktop Engine (database). You must uninstall this separately from the
Control Panel>Add/Remove Programs window if you are completely
removing the product from your system.
Caution If you are upgrading to a new version of CSA MC, or if you are reinstalling the
product on the same system, and you want to preserve your current configuration,
you should select to Backup the Database during the uninstall when you are
prompted to do so. If you do not backup the database, the uninstall removes all
program files and configurations. (Note that this only applies to local database
installations. CSA MC does not provide a backup mechanism for remote databases.)

agent kit. The goal of bundling CTA in an agent kit is to facilitate the distribution
of CTA. CTA is a separate application from CSA and has its own security
objectives.
If you intend to distribute CTA through an agent kit, copy your CTA installer files
to the system running CSA MC.
Note Distribution of CTA through agent kits is only supported for Windows versions
of CTA.
To copy the CTA installer files, follow this procedure:
Step 1 Obtain the desired CTA installer files from Cisco Systems.
Caution If you are intending to install CTA version 2.1 or later, you must extract an .msi
installer file from the initial CtaAdminEx-xxx-xxx**.exe file you receive. If you
copy the .exe file itself to CSA MC, the CTA installation will fail. Simply
