Purpose of the Varian MSI Installation Guide

This guide describes the use of *.msi files for silent (unattended)
installation provided by Varian Medical System (VMS) for ARIA and
Eclipse applications.
This guide provides a guideline for installing specific features of VMS
*.msi files according to customer’s requirements. Then, specified
*.msi files can deploy VMS client applications remotely or from a
local drive.
Customer’s requirements can be:
 Deploying VMS client applications to client workstations
 Uninstalling VMS client applications
 Installing VMS client applications and providing detailed log files
 Installing NLS extensions of VMS client applications
Introduction 9
Exclusion
There are many different deployment tools used by customers.
Therefore, this manual cannot cover the usage of all those tools but
holds the required information needed to successfully install Varian
*.msi files through any deployment tool.
This document does not
 cover any Service Packs that might be necessary for any of the
products discussed here.
 include nor cover client installation packages with ARIA for
Medical Oncology software.
The MSI packages provided by Varian Medical Systems are designed
for distribution for native workstation installations, this deployment
mechanism should not be used in conjunction with a Citrix
environment.
Note: Certain products described in this manual are not released as of
publication date of this manual.

Introduction 23
Chapter 2 Safety and Emergency
Safety Regulations
Overview
This chapter provides safety precautions which apply to the general
use of MSI packages provided by VMS.
The hospital is responsible for establishing proper operation
procedures to ensure successful installation.
General
Where applicable, hardware, and software are designed to meet
current international technical and safety standards, for example, IEC,
for the protection of operators and patients.
Any use of the system and software which does not comply with the
agreed use described in this manual or other related Varian manuals is
prohibited.

Care Required
Careless handling or operating may result in an unsuccessful
installation of components.
Responsibility
All persons who handle, use, or operate the system must read and
understand the chapters dealing with safety regulations and
emergency procedures.
Only qualified and trained personnel are permitted to operate and
maintain the system and its parts.
The hospital management shall establish deployment procedures
before deploying any Varian MSI packages and all personnel must be
trained in such procedures.
The system must only be operated with its original and unmodified
fittings and parts.
No modifications to the system, its parts, or the software are permitted
without prior review and approval from Varian.
Varian cannot be held responsible for personal injury or equipment damage if:
 Changes are carried out that are not in accordance with the
instructions contained in any Varian manual for the system, or if
standards, and procedures not authorized in writing by Varian are
used.
 Warning messages are ignored.
 Updates, modification or repair instructions occasionally issued by
Varian are not complied with.
 The equipment is used for purposes other than those intended.
 Operation or maintenance work is performed by unqualified
persons.
 The instructions and safety regulations are not complied with by
the operators, maintenance staff, or guests.
 Local laws and regulations have not been complied with.
 Anomalies during operation and maintenance are not reported to
Varian immediately.
 Legal and/or government regulations are not complied with.
Safety and Emergency 25

Further Regulations
These instructions do not render any further hospital and/or local,
state or country regulations or laws invalid. Such regulations must be
complied with at all times.

Chapter 3 Varian Platform Client
Varian Medical Systems provides the VarianPlatformClient.msi

file to deploy the Varian Platform Client application. You can specify
the Varian Platform Client software installation package according to
your requirements. There is no NLS extension available for the Varian
Platform Client application.
In case of a major upgrade (for example, from version 8.0),
VarianPlatformClient.msi automatically removes earlier
versions of the Varian Platform Client application along with Service
Packs, before installing the current version.
Note: If Service Pack 1 of the Platform Client 1.0.20 is installed, it
is recommended to remove it. It must be removed manually since it was created
as an independent MSI file.
Prerequisites for the Deployment of MSI Packages

Table 3 lists the deployment MSI packages that must be installed
before running VarianPlatformClient.msi.
