NOTE: You cannot upgrade from OMCI 6.x to OMCI 7.6 using the OMCI 7.6 installer if the target system has OMCI 6.x on it. Ensure that you uninstall OMCI 6.x before installing OMCI 7.6. OMCI version 7.2 and later can be installed only on Dell systems running the Windows operating systems listed in the "Supported Operating Systems" section.

NOTE: You can upgrade to OMCI 7.6 from OMCI versions 7.4 A00, 7.5 A00, 7.5 A01,

7.5A02, and 7.5 A03. If the upgrade path includes an operating system upgrade to Windows Vista, then you must upgrade OMCI to 7.6 first, and then upgrade the operating system to Windows Vista; vice versa is not supported.

NOTE: Separate installation programs exist for Windows 32- and 64-bit Edition operating systems, and are available for download from the Dell Support website at support.dell.com.

User Account Control in Windows Vista

In previous versions of Windows, user accounts were often members of the local Administrators group and had administrator privileges. Members of the local Administrators group could install, update, and run software since an administrator account had system-wide access. When a user was added to the local Administrators group, that user was automatically granted every Windows privilege because administrator privileges provide access to all operating system resources. User accounts with administrator privileges posed a security risk by providing access to operating system resources that can be exploited by malicious software (or malware).

In Windows Vista, there are two types of user accounts: standard user accounts and administrator accounts. Additionally, Windows Vista provides User Account Control (UAC) to improve system security by limiting the operating system access available to standard user accounts and requiring members of the Administrators group (except the Administrator account) to acknowledge the elevation of privileges when performing certain actions. The primary difference between a standard user and an administrator in Windows Vista is the level of access the user has over core, protected areas of the computer. With UAC enabled, Windows Vista either prompts for consent to elevate privileges (in the case of a user in the Administrators group) or for administrator credentials to elevate privileges (in the case of all other users) before launching a program or task that requires full administrator access. UAC prompts members in the Administrators group (except the Administrator account) to click Continue, if they need to elevate privileges,
