Sorry to be a pain but I find this so frustrating...  I'm trying to get my EV 10.0.4 environment upgraded to version 11.x

I started by following the recommended procedure of upgrading our CA and DA servers to CA 11 and DA 11.  That went fine.  I now want to start the procedure for upgrading EV to version 11.  I understand I need to install the EV 11 binaries on the CA and DA servers but when I try, I get the warning that certain items are no ready for the EV install, such required components that relate to the new IMAP access for EV... Of course, we don't want or need those prerequisites addressed on the servers where CA and DA run, we just want to upgrade the existing EV binaries from 10.0.4 to 11, so we can then upgrade the EV server to 11.

Where is the override for installing the EV 11 binaries despite the missing prerequisites?  I want to ignore the prerequisites and install anyway.  Neither the EV 11 upgrade guide nor the CA/DA 11 upgrade guides mention bypassing these prerequisites for a CA or DA server.  If you search for "binaries" in any of those guides, you won't find anything relevant to my question.  I'll admit there is a slight change I am wrong about that but, I have spent the last hour looking, including searching these forums, for the answer but it's not easy to find.  If anyone has the answer, I would appreciate it.  I've now blown my window of upgrade opportunity for a workday and will need to do this on my weekend...  I don't understand why this info isn't easier to find.

Also, we were never able to get SP1 installed for Server 2008 R2 on our CA server - looks like it will require a rebuild to accomplish but we would like to move forward with the upgrade to EV 11.  Anyone also know if we can upgrade to EV 11 if the server is only 2008 R2 without SP1?  Once we finish the EV 11 upgrade, we plan on buying all new hardware for EV, CA and DA and moving to Server 2012 (R2?).

Thanks!
