The warning will give users the option to cancel the upgrade before any system changes are made so that users can ensure that the necessary installation executables (e.g. for each Connector) have been obtained before proceeding with the main system upgrade. When upgrading a multi-server system, the warning will be generated only when upgrading the Database server. IMPORTANT: When performing a silent installation, a warning message will not be produced before the system is updated as the installation is performed through a script. A log message will inform the user that a Component(s) failed to start due to an initialization failure. Microsoft SQL Server and SQL Support is now available for MS SQL Server and SQL Server Express 2014 Server Express 2014. Microsoft Windows Server 2012 R2 Support is now available for MS Windows Server 2012 R2.
