Hi All - It's been a while (life makes you busy) but it's time I upgraded. I looked at the posted threads and they point me to the "2.1.5 thread" which is now 11 pages long - are the instructions below still correct? And if so, can someone expand on step 4? What exe do I run?

Thanks!

--------------------------

1. Rename your existing PowerHome directory. DO NOT INSTALL on top of your existing installation. After renaming, uninstall all previous PowerHome versions.

2. Install version 2.1.5 to c:\powerhome.

3. Copy your pwrhome.ini and pwrhome.db files from your renamed previous install into appropriate directories of 2.1.5.

4. Run the DataBase Upgrade Utility to upgrade your database to version 2.1.5. If you are not currently on 2.1.2/2.1.4 then you'll need to run 1 or more Database upgrade files contained within c:\powerhome\phupg_all.zip.

5. Copy over any other files necessary from your old installation (graphics, PSP pages, plugin INI's, etc).

6. You're now ready to go.

BTW - this worked. The Database upgrade utility is named phupg.exe. The only surprise is they changed the name of the command-line interface so I had to mod my script that calls it. One issue, though, the PH Status screen is corrupted - but that's a subject for another thread...

Jeff,

Sorry to not be able to answer this sooner, but you
were correct. The list is correct.

Glad to hear that the upgrade worked for you and didnt
really have any problems other than the confusion
surrounding the Status screen.

I think you'll be much happier with the 2.1.5 version.
Alot of improvements were made between that and 2.1.4.

Dave.

Hi Dave - no rush - it was a holiday weekend. It was 50/50 that you were travelling or around with time on your hands. I was good either way, really! :-}

Yup - just ordered some new I2CS modules - looking forward to having good experiences with 2.1.5

best
