EV Version mix up - which is correct
Hello All,
I'm starting on a project to upgrade an EV8 installation to EV11. Before I start in earnest on the live setup I have been given a test domain to play with, this was the original system that someone else installed many many moons past.
The first thing I did was check the version currently installed, and this is where my first point of confusion started. Can anyone help me work out which version is installed please.
In the EV console Help - About EV it tells me I have version 9.0.5.1067
In Control Panel - Add/Remove software - it tells me I have version 9.0.5.1067
The executables in the Program Files folder again show :
EVPM.exe = 9.0.5.1067
DTrace.exe = 9.0.5.1067
So it looks very much like I am looking at 9.0.5.1067
However the Registry key : [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\KVS\Enterprise Vault\Install] "Version" shows 8.0.5.1048 for Version and Full Version.
Which is correct? Has anyone seen a version mismatch like this before? I was intending to upgrade this to version 9 but most of the information I can see tells me that I am probably already on version 9.0.5 other than the registry which tells me it is version 8 which is what I was expecting.
Which is correct and any ideas on how this happened?
thanks muchly,
Thanks Ben, thats useful information, my problem is that I am supposed to use this environment to test the upgrade from 8 to 9 and base the upgrade of the live system on this. Basically have a practice attempt before touching the live stuff.
However as someone appears to have already had a crack at this I no longer have a test 8 system to upgrade and mess around with.
Management want this step to occur before they are confident enough to sign off the upgrade. So I am back to having to install 8 and pretty much start again - I can find no information about going backwards 9 to 8 and I presume this is because :
A. It is crazy.
B. There would be all manner of changes to the database schema which would be tricky to revert without a lot of work.
So it will be a weekend of installing and configuring, then do the upgrade and demonstrate that yes indeed it does work and finally sometime next week move on to the next stage and see what problems arise at that point.
Thanks all for your help.
