Platform Specific Notes

Table 1.2. Platform Specific Notes

HP-UX	If you are running HP-UX 11.00 you must install a current HP Quality Pack or else the SysInfo™ Agent will not work. To obtain a current QP from HP, please visit http://www.esca.hp.com/us/.
MacOS X	The SysInfo™ GUI requires that you have Apple's X11 package (in older MacOS releases this is called X11 User for OS X) installed prior to installing SysInfo™. These packages are not part of MacOS X 10.1 - 10.2 and must be downloaded from Apple at http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx. On MacOS X 10.3 and later, this package is located on the MacOS X installation disc, but is usually not installed by default. SysInfo™ Printer class data is supported on MacOS X 10.2 or later. It is not supported on earlier releases.
FreeBSD	FreeBSD 5.0 and 5.1 are not supported due to bugs in the OS provided stdarg wide string functions like vswprintf().
Windows	On Windows XP x64 SP1, SysInfo™ will not report much, if any data due to significant bugs in the Windows bundled DLLs. This problem is fixed by applying a current set of Microsoft Security Updates via Microsoft Update, Windows Update, or manually. The exact update which fixes these problems is not known.
