I had a go at a 3.6 upgrade last night and failed. I've got some
theories for trying again and am reasonably hopeful of succeeding.
Having seen the upgrade process in detail, however, I have a great
deal
of sympathy for HCN in trying to support this upgrade across a
range of
Microsoft servers and operating systems. There are just too many
variables to make it seamless for everyone (sor perhaps even anyone).

P.S. I could have added how much simpler things are in the linux
world,
but I won't.
I've been back from holidays for all of a day and have already seen
2 / 4 upgrades fail. HCN tech support is so swamped that I had
trouble getting in the queue today (although to be fair I also had to
call Optus and they were much worse).
It's hard to install 15 or so programmes on Windows in a scripted
fashion. One site couldn't install Acrobat but I didn't get any
useful debug until I tried the Acrobat installer "manually", just a
message to call HCN support!
It's a huge upgrade and the end result appears to be an improvement
in speed and probably functionality.
Still, it's a damn shame we can't just "apt-get install MDW3".
Peter.
