Hi,

I did the custom install so that I would not overwrite the M:\Softrak folder..

Any other ideas?

Cheers, JK

Delete ADSPROF.xxx from your data folder in the "play area" NOT on your network.

Start your play version of Adagio and point to your "play area" and when asked answer C:\Softrak\System for the Currency and Task locations

Thanks, that is probably the piece I needed...

ok, great, I'e got it all up and running on a detached notebook.

When I go to install the lanpacks on the network does anyone have any suggestions? - we have the older stuff.. - much older...

Cheers, JK

Oops!

I forgot to say thank you for the help...

Cheers, JK

You really do need to get your dealer involved. You are headed towards a world of hurt! I don't believe that the detail knowledge required for a successful update of Adagio can be provided piece meal through this forum.

Odd. I tried Michael's suggestion at the other site we had this issue without any joy.

Hi Michael,

Thank you for your concern - it is appreciated.

I just finished migrating 3 domain controllers and upgrading the schema on our domain - all mission critical systems with no outages.

We also just finished an Exchange 2003 to 2007 migration so we are accustomed to large technical tasks and trust me, Microsoft has it's own quirks!

I appreciate the value of having a dealer and will probably get him involved once we are ready to push the button but first I need to know and understand the issues myself that way we can also get out of situations whenever they arise.

Also by doing this we will have the a clean house for when the cleaner (the dealer) arrives!

Again, thank you and,

Cheers, JK

Hi gents,

Regarding our upgrade I am considering wiping the current installation and starting from a clean plate rather than upgrading (not the data of course, we will keep that!).

My thinking is that this is a good opportunity to get a clean start and considering how far back we are, why not.

The lanpaks are still somewhat of a mystery to me as we currently on the old ones LANPAK Version: 6.8A (030307) and I am not sure how these will work with the new ones ergo my desire for a clean slate.

My thoughts are to uninstall everything from everywhere and wipe the SOFTRAK folder (actually I'll save it off to the the side) and then start fresh including the new lanpaks.

Any feedback would be welcome!

Cheers, JK

Given that I've upgraded many sites like yours, that have been on Adagio from the begining, without wiping out the existing install in the process I have my doubts about the value of doing so.

Of course there is always the exceptions to the rules, having said that, over the years there have been a couple of sites where we have had wipe out one module and do a freash full install as this module was having issues.

As for the Lanpak issue I suspect that Softrak has changed the way Adagio looks for program installs. Even though you have installed locally the program sees the install on the server and this results in an expectation that there should be a Lanpak. The $64,000 question ends up being, "what will happen to the live site (that needs the older Lanpak) if I install the newer one locally for my test install?". Sorry, I don't have the answer to that question, likely neither does Softrak.


Hense my suggestion to do this on a virgin workstation that is not (has not been) connected to the server.
