GeekyGav Posted November 7, 2011 Posted November 7, 2011 Hi All, Hope you can shed some light on this?? I'm having a little trouble installing SIMS on to client machines using simsinst.exe... Error message is: This installation detected an old version of SIMSSQLInfrastructureSetup.exe Please ensure you have the latest version, then restart this installation. Clients are Windows XP with DotNet 4 Full... (Although... I'm having the same problem with Windows 7 also) Have a mapped drive pointing to the share containing SIMS. Am I missing a trick here? Gav
Rawns Posted November 7, 2011 Posted November 7, 2011 In your Setups folder, what is the version number of your SIMSSQLInfrastructureSetup.exe?
creese Posted November 7, 2011 Posted November 7, 2011 What version of SIMSSQLInfrastructureSetup.exe do you have?
GeekyGav Posted November 7, 2011 Author Posted November 7, 2011 In your Setups folder, what is the version number of your SIMSSQLInfrastructureSetup.exe? Blimey, thanks for the speedy response... The version number is 1.590.3.0
Rawns Posted November 7, 2011 Posted November 7, 2011 Mine is 1.562.15.0 Interesting. Mine's 1.602.1.0. Running the Summer version here.
creese Posted November 7, 2011 Posted November 7, 2011 I must admit that I have not actually installed with this and it is Training data. @GeekyGav .. I think upgrading to 1.602.1.0 is the first step.
jdibsdale Posted November 7, 2011 Posted November 7, 2011 Are you running it with local admin rights? Or try running "SIMSApplicationSetup.exe" to install clients, as the SIMSINST calls this file. I've had a lot of problems with Windows 7 but not XP.
vikpaw Posted November 15, 2011 Posted November 15, 2011 How did you get on. If you download an update CD iso from SupportNet for the version of SIMS you are currently on, then you should be able to find the relevant files you need there. Backup the old one, copy in the new and try again.
edutech4schools Posted November 15, 2011 Posted November 15, 2011 I had an error like this which I fixed by installing office.
vikpaw Posted November 16, 2011 Posted November 16, 2011 I had an error like this which I fixed by installing office. I can't imagine how Office even knows about the SIMS setup file, maybe Capita have bought a stake in Microsoft
edutech4schools Posted November 16, 2011 Posted November 16, 2011 I can't imagine how Office even knows about the SIMS setup file, maybe Capita have bought a stake in Microsoft I presumed it was the other way round in that Sims looks for office and errors if its not found.
vikpaw Posted November 16, 2011 Posted November 16, 2011 I presumed it was the other way round in that Sims looks for office and errors if its not found. I don't think so, but i'm sure i just read that is about to happen in the autumn release notes, to overcome some problem.
