I am trying to upgrade from Micro Focus Enterprise Developer 10 for Visual Studio 2002 (patch 16) to Rocket Enterprise Developer 11 for Visual Studio 2022 (patch 7).  The documentation implies that an upgrade can be performed.  When I try and upgrade, setup fails saying that version 10 needs to be uninstalled.  When I uninstall version 10 and then install version 11, the directory server won’t start, complaining about the location of the vsam_esm.  It appears to be looking in a “\Micro Focus” folder that no longer exists.  I can’t not determine where to go to change the location to point to the “\Rocket Software\” folder location.  Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Bruce,

Can you advise if the vsam_esm directory exists at all, you can check in paths:
C:\ProgramData\Micro Focus
or
C:\ProgramData\Rocket Software

This may require more investigation, e.g. why the installer did not copy those vsam files, for that you can consider to raise a support case and then  also include all install *.log files from the %temp% directory for the Enterprise Developer product, then my support colleagues can review the log files to see if that explains if/why the vsam fesm iles did not get copied to the expected path..

Regards,
Kim
