  • a46 upgrade

    From Rick Smith@1:340/202 to All on Thu Mar 19 15:18:11 2020
    Greetings,

    I finally was able to start over on the upgrade and I got the same result MIS wont start. However I was able to trap an error this time. So what I did
    was the "install replace c:\mystic" it upgraded without issue.

    Starting mis with command prompt "MIS SERVER" gives me the following error

    "ERROR: Data files do not match version of Mystic"

    Now I am switching from 64 to 32bit versions, however I get the same error running the 64 bit upgrade onto my actual setup of 64bit. Any ideas?

    Regards,

    Once in a while changes are made to the structure of the data files. If that happens you need to run upgrade to bring your files up to the new structures.

    I don't actually know if that's what's happening here but you could try that.

    Have you run upgrade.exe from the Mystic directory?

    You need to run the 'upgrade' binary. Did you follow the upgrade docs to a T?

    Now I am switching from 64 to 32bit versions, however I get the same
    error running the 64 bit upgrade onto my actual setup of 64bit. Any ideas?

    I'd be careful swapping bitrate...particularly if you are having problems
    with a 64 - to - 64 bit upgrade.

    Let's get this to work first and then confirm with someone like g00r00 that going from 64 to 32 bits is supported. My assumption is that it's not, but I can't be sure.

    Run upgrade.exe

    You can swap between all bit versions and operating systems.

    Run upgrade.exe

    Thank you, I figured it out once I decided to read your directions. Sadly I think I upgraded to a45 the same lack luster way hence the errors I get in
    the log file... Live and learn.
