Hi Unifacers,

I have Uniface community edition installed on my PC in a Virtual Machine.

After an upgrade of VM software layer last october Uniface stopped to work, claiming license NOT available on this machine.

After reading the FAQ I have:
- Returned the license
- Re-activated license again using my same UUID

Now the license is recognized again and the IDE is correctly starting, but unfortunately is not upgrading anymore.

On the same machine I was able to upgrade from U10.4.03.001 (the one installed for Uniface User Group in A'dam last october) to U10.4.03.002 using the standard procedure: starting the installation it recognized it was already installed and upgrade the installation available.

Doing now the same action with U10.4.03.006 is claiming:
Setup cannot install in the selected folder because it is not empty, it appears to already contain an installation of a different product or edition. Please select a different location to install Rocket Uniface 10 Community Edition in.

The original installation was not manipulated in any way...

What to do now ? I am looking for an advise here...

Could a migration done in "the old way": full export + uninstall + reinstall from scratch + reimport solve this hurdle?

Regards,
Gianni

Hi Gianni
Sorry for replying so late. But we have so many other things to do that there's not much time left for Uniface as such :-)

For the purpose of migrating such small sub-versions:
Just download the patch-file, unzip it and then copy the items it over the existing installation.
This has always worked for us.
Okay, it's not a community edition, but that shouldn't really be a problem
