The 7.1 installer was not java based so it did not have that XML file (so an upgrade from 7.1 to 7.6.4 won't have it)
You may try copying your 7.1 ar.conf (ar.cfg for Windows) file into the new server's folder before running the installer.

In an upgrade the installer checks for this file and then knows what options are available. The server name, ports, etc are also stored in that file as well. If you haven't scrapped your old app server it is in the install folder, you will just want to make the same folder structure on your new install. -----Original Message----- From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:arslist@ARSLIST.ORG] On Behalf Of Nall, Roger Sent: Tuesday, November 08, 2011 3:51 PM To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG Subject: Re: 7.6.04 -SP02 Windows:: got a question ** Let me try this again. The dba took a copy of our 7.1 SQL2000 db and restored it to a SQL2008 server thus leaving us with our ARS 7.1 db in a SQL 2008 format. We then ran the 7.6.04 SP2 installers with the results already mentioned. I hope this makes more sense.

We are trying to upgrade from 7.1 patch 4 to 7.6.04 SP2. We have all new hardware. The dbas have taken a copy of the SQL 2k 7.1 db and restored to SQL 2008 then upgrading to SQL 2008. The ARS install recognizes tht the db is there but does not offer eth Upgrade/Overwrite/Server Group screen. We even tried upgrading to 7.5 first but ran into the same scenario. Not sure what to do other than creating a new db and migrating everything over.

Of course, your problem may have nothing to do with that, since the 7.6.x installers have their own collection of defects and misbehaviors, most of them already mentioned in this thread.
