The Framework Logistics Tablet database upgrade can be performed either manually or silently. The manual upgrade option requires user intervention and selections whilst the silent upgrade option, which uses a command line switch, requires no user intervention and is therefore useful for group policy rollouts across multiple Tablet PCs. Both manual and silent installation options are included.

...

If during the upgrade process 'Not Responding' appears in the title bar of the Framework Logistics Tablet Upgrade software, this is due to the system performing very long and CPU-intensive calculations. This message will disappear once the upgrade has been completed
