Beta to RC Upgrade:

[DAckroyd]

Hi all - this is a simple question for those who know the answer...

 

I have just had the message pop-up saying I have 3 days left to upgrade to the RC - I have found the instructions on the MSDN Blog for how to upgrade from the beta to the RC by editing the cversion.ini file but their example has different numbers so I wanted to check before continueing:

 

[HostBuild]

MinClient=7100

MinServer=7000

 

[HostBuild]

MinClient=7077.0

MinServer=7000.0

 

do I just change it to 7100 and 7000 like the example has?

 

Thanks,

Dave

You'll need to change it to an earlier or equal version to the one you've got, so I guess 7.077 at least.

 

No idea if it'll work after that though. Let me know if it does as I have to upgrade my own soon.

I have completed this process on two machines this weekend.

 

I simply changed the MinClient= to 6999

 

This worked on both machines without a hitch.

does miniserver get left as is?

[jamesb]

You're not upgrading a server, so it doesn't really matter.

Yes did not alter miniserver

 

You just have to have miniclient at a lower number than the version you are upgrading.

 

The beta was version 7000 so I set miniclient to 6999.

here goes... just going to run the upgrade and see if all works - thanks for help guys

Well I'm back and it worked fine - about 2 hours to run the upgrade... about double-four time that of the fresh install

Everything seems to be fine after the upgrade appart from Virtual PC didn't work so I got the beta with WinXP mode but I can't see how to boot my windows XP PC
