Connect to Vault 5.x server from Vault 6.x client

Post by Hans Olav Nymand » Mon Oct 08, 2012 3:02 am

Hi,

Is it possible to connect somehow to a Vault 5.x server via a Vault 6.x client, or to have both a 6.x and a 5.x client installed on the same machine (The default installer doesn't allow it)

Best regards,
Hans Olav Nymand

You can't connect a Vault 5.x server and a Vault 6.x client or vice versa.

Two Vault clients on the same machine are not fully supported and are not tested that way.

To get the two installed on the same machine, first install Vault 5.x. Then take the Vault 5.x folder where all the files were installed and physically move the folder to another location. This will prevent the next installer from erasing it.

Then install Vault 6.x. It will take over the registry keys that Vault 5.x had, the short cut icons, and the Visual Studio integration.
