Click the new entry OLI Engine 9.2 for UniSim.

Once you click on the link button and select the version, your new UniSim build should be linked to the OLI Engine install you just performed:
Check for Updated configuration file
Clicking this link will poll the OLI Download Web Site for a new version of a configuration file. At some point in the future, Honeywell Technologies will release a new version of UniSim (or change its name). At that time this configuration tool will be easily updated by downloading a small file.
If this is what you want, then you are done and you can click the Close button.
Only show detected or installed products
This check box is used when a non-standard UniSim installation has occurred. OLI may not be able to directly detect the software or an installation script is being written and UniSim was not available. In this case we can link the OLI Engine to a non-existent product for later installation.
Uncheck the Only show detected or installed products box.
As you can see, there are versions of UniSim that are not installed when this picture was taken.
