Well, you can't use archive and deploy, as far as I know. I've been thinking for some time of writing a version of archive and deploy for myself to use on Standard installs, but honestly since my company has Ent. I've never been sufficiently motivated to do it. Do you have the motivation to write even a basic migration system? When I look at what it takes, I start to think that the Ent. license looks awfully cheap, no joke.
AFAIK, you can upgrade to 7 from 6.1 without uninstalling, but in Enterprise you sacrifice certain (very nice) additions if you do that. I don't know if you can upgrade from 6.1 to 7 Standard. If that's an option, that's the first thing to check out. If you don't lose anything by upgrading, why not just upgrade from the existing install? If you stand to lose something and prefer to install a clean copy, pen and paper or screenshots of the CF Admin are the way I've done upgrades in the past. Just make sure you check everything. I haven't seen anything specific from Macromedia that says if you are upgrading Standard (Pro) you should uninstall 6.x and install 7 fresh. That is the advice for Ent. if you want the extra goodies. I assume that means that you can upgrade without doing an uninstall, but I haven't done it myself. If you have a test machine to try it on, give it a go. Even if that means you have to install 6.1 on a clean system and then try the upgrade, it is worth the time to try it in a test system before you do it live. You can also make copies of the 6.1 config files as a backup. Most of the system settings are stored in XML files in one spot or another in the cf root. Maybe you can be the guy to write the unofficial 6.1 to 7 Pro upgrade guide. I'm sure plenty of others would benefit from it. Rob >Rob, > >I'm installing Standard.
