Technical and Installation Discussions

[VKZIMM]

I am on a Vista machine.  I have my clients v4.3 data and wanted to test the upgrade to v4.4.

I have Service Pack 2 of v4.4 installed and I can access that version.

I can run the Pre-migrations with the Mas90 folder just copied to a drive.

but during the Paralled migration I get the error.

I have copied their data using Move instructions by deleting the Uninstall information and renaming the Installation.pvc

and when I install over it, it gets done copying everything,  i get the error.

I have done this before with no problems.  Any ideas?

I tried everything in the Techdoc without success.

I am having the same problem...client is on v3.7, i made a copy  and can go through the pre-migration but once i start the migration i get "PVX Object Init Failed". I tried to run pvxcom and that did nothing.

Rename the Uninstall folders

In the Home directory, click on the PVXCOM.EXE  (you will see nothing)

In the Home directory, click on the $ACTPVX.BAT (you will see something flash)

if you have a REGCOM.BAT in the Home folder click on that

IN c:\Program files\common files\install shield\Professional folder  Rename the Run Time folder

In the SY folder, rename the Installation.pvc file

Reinstall v3.71 over this installation, you will need to re-enter the registration keys.

Do all of the above, as I tried one at a time and it did not work.
