Force update

[Edu-IT]

Is there any way I can tell SIMS on a client to check for update? I have updated SIMS server using SOLUS but some clients don't seem to be updating and when signing in it complains about database mismatch.

SOLUS 2 or 3?

Runs simsload.exe in the SIMS .Net directory on the client?

 

Disclaimer: I'm assuming you can still manually kick off an upgrade from there if using solus 3.

Run sims load for SOLUS 2.

If on SOLUS 2 check the SIMs.ini file in c:\windows contains the line

 

SIMSSetupsDirectory=

 

else you'll get the problem every time you update.

SOLUS2.

 

Is that file on the server, or the client?

Client

Just copy one over from a working machine

Then run simsload or the default shortcut it creates which should be labelled sims .net. If it just says sims it won't upgrade
