1.0.5 Installer Error

Post by dist0rti0n » Fri Oct 26, 2007 6:14 pm

If I try to run the installer it tells me I have to uninstall Vault before running the installation.

The kicker is that I'm running Fortress 1.0.4. So either upgrading is not supported and the message needs to say Fortress instead of Vault or there's a bug.

Upgrading is supported -- I just upgraded from 1.0.4 to 1.05 on my home machine and it worked with no errors.

There may be something about your installation that makes Fortress think Vault is installed. I agree that the error should say that Fortress is already installed, since you're using Fortress.

Can you uninstall, keeping the databases, and then reinstall? Back up your databases first.

Yeah that will probably work.

Do you think it could have anything to do with the fact that my fortress db started life as a Vault 3.x db?

The Fortress installer should be able to upgrade a Vault 3.x database, but you need to uninstall Vault first, leaving the database.
