Title: RC1 will not upgrade from 7057 64x ?
Post by: hannahsh on May 02, 2009, 02:18:33 PM

Anyone else found it refused to upgrade from their current beta version? It just gives me a screen saying upgrade not available on this version......... another 5 hours rebuild including all apps (adobe CS4 etc) oh no !!!!!

But then this one should and will hopefully be the last time, probably do it overnight when I have nothing else to occupy my time.

Wouldn't "Windows Easy Transfer" make this easier?

There is a file you can change if you extract all files to your HD... open sources/cversion
([HostBuild]
MinClient=7077.0   (change to 7000.0)
MinServer=7000.0
which means you can upgrade from 7077.0  now if you change the MinClient=7077.0 to 7000.0
then save.  you can upgrade from your version... this allows the version check to be bypassed.

Enjoy
